So, if you have a site with 500 pages with a vast majority being product detail pages and you were to do a complete redesign, including the url structure, would you say it's best to 301 your category pages, contact us, informational pages, etc. and let the product detail page fall into a 404?

If the product-detail page is replaced by a new product-detail page, use a 301 to the new location.

If you no longer have a product-detail page, use a 404.
