Summary

  • Adds 41 Mintlify redirects in docs.json for old docs URLs that return 404
  • These URLs are being re-crawled daily by Google, wasting crawl budget

Context

Google Search Console shows 45 docs.tracebloc.io pages in the "Not found (404)" report. These are all old URLs from before the docs restructure — the content still exists but at different paths. Without redirects, Google keeps crawling dead URLs and the old pages stay in the index as errors.

Redirect categories

Old path patternRedirects toCount
/getting-started/*/overview/ or /environment-setup/4
/environment-setup/* (old names)Current setup pages6

Test plan

  • Deploy and verify old URLs return 301 (not 404)
  • Spot-check a few redirects land on the correct destination
  • After deploy, re-validate in Google Search Console

Google Search Console shows 45 docs.tracebloc.io pages returning 404,
being re-crawled daily and wasting crawl budget. These are old URLs
from before the docs restructure.
Adds Mintlify redirects mapping every old URL to its current equivalent:
- /getting-started/* → /overview/ or /environment-setup/
- /collaboration/* → /join-use-case/
- /experiment/* → /join-use-case/
- /training-parameters/* → /join-use-case/hyperparameters
- /training-guide/* → /join-use-case/start-training
- /model-requirements/* → /tools-help/ or /create-use-case/
- /FAQ/* → /tools-help/faqs
- /key-terms/* → /tools-help/key-terms
- /client-setup/* → /environment-setup/
- /tags/* → /overview/tracebloc (tag system removed)
- /blog/* → tracebloc.io/blog (blog moved to main site)
