About this plugin
Broken links and moved pages quietly cost you traffic and rankings. SEO Shades Redirects & 404 Monitor helps you catch every broken URL on your WordPress site and fix it in seconds, so visitors and search engines always land on the right page.
Add redirects by hand, or open the 404 log, see which URLs people actually tried to open, and click Fix to turn any of them into a redirect.
What you can do:
- Create permanent (301) and temporary (302, 307) redirects
- Mark removed pages as 410 Gone so search engines drop them faster
- Redirect to a page on your site or to any external URL
- See every 404 with hit count, last hit time and referrer
- Fix a 404 in one click and ignore the ones that do not matter
- Track how many times each redirect has been used
Built for safety:
- Redirect loop protection
- The homepage cannot be redirected, so you cannot lock yourself out
- Works on sites installed in a subdirectory
- Old 404 entries are deleted automatically
- All plugin data is removed when you delete the plugin
Who is it for?
Bloggers, SEO professionals, agencies and store owners who change URLs, delete old pages, or migrate a site and want to keep their traffic.
