## SvelteKit Documentation URLs
### 🔴 STATUS: REDIRECTED (Update Required)
All SvelteKit URLs now redirect from `kit.svelte.dev` to `svelte.dev` with a **308 Permanent Redirect**.
| Topic | Old URL | New URL | Status |
|-------|---------|---------|--------|
| routing | `https://kit.svelte.dev/docs/routing` | `https://svelte.dev/docs/kit/routing` | ✅ Working |
| load | `https://kit.svelte.dev/docs/load` | `https://svelte.dev/docs/kit/load` | ✅ Working |
| form-actions | `https://kit.svelte.dev/docs/form-actions` | `https://svelte.dev/docs/kit/form-actions` | ✅ Working |
| hooks | `https://kit.svelte.dev/docs/hooks` | `https://svelte.dev/docs/kit/hooks` | ✅ Working |
### Migration Details
**Old Base URL:** `https://kit.svelte.dev/docs`
**New Base URL:** `https://svelte.dev/docs/kit`
**HTTP Status:** 308 Permanent Redirect
**Impact:** Content still accessible via redirects, but should update to new URLs
### Content Verification
All pages verified and contain correct SvelteKit documentation:
✅ **Routing** - Filesystem-based routing system documentation
✅ **Load** - Data loading functions for pages and layouts
✅ **Form Actions** - Server-side form handling documentation
✅ **Hooks** - Server and client hooks documentation

## Recommendations
### Immediate Actions Required
1. **Update SvelteKit Base URL** in `scripts/update-content.js`:
```javascript
// OLD:
baseUrl: 'https://kit.svelte.dev/docs'
// NEW:
baseUrl: 'https://svelte.dev/docs/kit'
```
2. **Update URL Paths** - Remove leading slash since new base includes `/kit`:
```javascript
// OLD:
{ name: 'routing', url: '/routing' }
// NEW:
{ name: 'routing', url: '/routing' } // Still works with new base
```
3. **Test Content Update** - Run `npm run update-content` after changes
### Why Update?
- **308 Permanent Redirect** indicates the old domain is deprecated
- Following redirects adds latency to content updates
- Old domain may be discontinued in the future
- Best practice to use canonical URLs
### Low Priority
- Tailwind URLs require no changes
- Current redirects work, but updating is recommended
---
## Technical Details
### SvelteKit Migration Pattern
The SvelteKit team consolidated documentation under the main Svelte domain:
```
OLD STRUCTURE:
kit.svelte.dev/docs/{topic}
NEW STRUCTURE:
svelte.dev/docs/kit/{topic}
```
This follows a pattern of unifying all Svelte ecosystem docs:
- Svelte core: `svelte.dev/docs/svelte/*`
- SvelteKit: `svelte.dev/docs/kit/*`
### Redirect Behavior
HTTP 308 (Permanent Redirect) is cache-friendly and SEO-appropriate:
- User agents should update bookmarks
- Search engines update indexes
- Indicates permanent move (unlike 302)
