Even though the site was a small site, I had a hard time finding all the broken URLs. At the time, I only knew of a few things I could to do to find all the broken URLs. Now that I have been around site migrations and SEO for a while, I have more tools that I can use to help with the migration process and tracking down those broken URLs. 8 Ways to Find Broken URLs- Failed Site Migrations
