Apologies, I see this is a common question that was already answered. Rust is a good bit ugly not taking lessons learned about legibility from Python. Take your time while sticking to standard tools. I’ll keep an eye on your choice of memory safe alternative to CPP. It is hard to choose a language you like, I don’t like any. Maybe Nim

Why choose CPP to develop this instead of Rust? How do you fix all the bad security bugs? I fear you’ll just leave users vulnerable to completely new attacks, it’s a huge surface area

Don’t listen to people telling you this is a bad idea. 301 similar 404 to the correct page and be done with it. Migrations are all too common. Google webmaster guidelines ruled and restriced creativity for long enough, so damn Google. If getting completely deindexed in Google would floor your business you got it all wrong anyway. Focusing on Google too much will get you exactly in a position where you don’t want to be. It’s their job to be able to index correctly all sorts of server configuration and assign link value correctly so their algorithms get it right. You are doing it well. Let’s just stop Google pleasing and focus on the user and good marketing

Domain knowledge is just as important when programming as the craft itself, this is why I have to have a great relationship with subject matter expert and develop domain knowledge fast. So abstractions can be a better fit

Does this round down extra decimal places from path coords? I find this can greatly reduce SVG size and don’t see it in the feature set. I have some private SVG optimisation functions in Python somewhere, could rewrite to JS and PR, giving meaningful names to IDs is cumbersome work sometimes too
