My company are currently using Umbraco for part of a site that deals in donations to funds of people who are sadly no longer here, so in memorium.
We have a database filled with funds which currently map into a umbraco fund, the problem is umbraco has now become really slow due to the number of funds in the tree (hundreds of thousands).
We are currently using the umbraco URL alias to be able reference the fund by name, i.e. www.site.com/fundname where fundname is user generated.
My question is, how can I remove these nodes from umbraco and enable the redirect to work?

Hi Jim,
You might want to check out SEO Checker http://soetemansoftware.nl/seo-checker to import all the links you need to redirect. Then after the redirects are imported you can use http://soetemansoftware.nl/bulkmanager (free version) to delete the old pages.
Hope this can help you.
Best,
Richard
Hello,
If you are using Umbraco 6.1 or higher it's also possible to programmatically create url rewriting.
Check out this documentation:
