Redirection: a URL redirection manager for WordPress websites
Redirection is a URL redirection manager for the popular WordPress platform. It is a free WP plugin that provides users with a range of control options to redirect website traffic. It aims to prevent page errors that could otherwise dissuade visitors from remaining on your site.
The proper use of page redirects can help with SEO, as missing or broken pages on a site reflect badly in the eyes of search engines. In addition, using other plugins like Yoast will help ensure the rest of your website is properly SEO-optimized.
Easily redirect traffic
Configuring proper URL redirects often requires a bit of server knowledge. Redirection allows users with little or no experience to achieve the desired result and create redirects that work properly. The tool includes full support for regular expressions. You can also pass query parameter values to the target destination.
Automated features
Redirection can be configured to monitor the existing permalink structures on WordPress sites. It also automatically create redirects to new URLs when permalinks are changed. Redirects can also be based on custom events, such as the visitor's login status, the browser type, their IP address, and more.
Ensures smooth-running WordPress sites
It's no surprise that both search engines and human visitors react negatively to page errors. However, page or post deletion and ever-changing permalink structures are unavoidable. Redirection makes it easy to ensure visitors are always redirected to the right URL. It also makes search engines aware of new page updates and the site's status.
A wide array of options
The number of conditional redirects that you can create means that it should be straightforward to set up redirects for any situation, including custom filters. Additionally, full logging allows users to monitor active redirects currently in use.
