After the relaunch: How to check all printed QR codes in ten minutes

Step 1: List of QR codes

With dynamic QR codes, the list is in the dashboard – with names, target, and scan counts. With static QR codes, only the collection of printed materials helps: Each QR code is scanned once and the target is recorded.

Step 2: Check goals

  • Open every target in the browser: Does the correct page or an error page appear?
  • Redirects the target, switch directly to the new address.
  • Test on mobile phone: Does the page load quickly and is it mobile readable?

Step 3: Customize

You switch dynamic QR codes to the new address in the dashboard, the print remains valid. Static QR codes require a redirect on the server of their old address - and a dynamic QR code for the next print.

Step 4: Secure permanently

Same-QR queries the target of each QR code every night. If a page returns a 404 or 410 error or is unreachable for two consecutive nights, you will receive an email with suggestions from your connected website. You decide what is adopted – nothing is changed automatically.

Frequently asked questions

Do I have to scan each QR code individually?

With dynamic QR codes, no – the target is displayed in the dashboard and can be opened there in the browser. Scanning is only necessary for static QR codes.

What if the page was only down for a short time?

Same-QR only reports unreachable pages if they fail for two consecutive nights. A single outage does not trigger an email.

How do I prevent the problem during the next relaunch?

Use dynamic QR codes for all new prints and switch the QR codes to the new pages before going live.
