404 to 301 – Redirect Manager, 404 Error Logs & Notifications vs 301 Redirects – Redirect Manager

404 to 301 is a complete redirect manager and 404 error monitor for WordPress. Build your own custom redirects (301, 302, 307 and more) with exact, prefix or regex matching, automatically redirect every remaining 404 error to any page you choose, and keep a full log of every broken link that hits your site — so you can fix the real problem instead of just hiding it. An optional email alert lets you know the moment a URL starts getting hit. Whether you are managing redirects after a site migration, cleaning up old URLs following a redesign, or simply protecting your SEO and visitor experience from dead links, 404 to 301 gives you precise redirect management and a 404 logging safety net for everything you miss — all from a fast, modern admin. Custom redirects Take full control of your URLs with a built-in redirect manager: Create unlimited custom redirects with your choice of redirect type (301, 302, 307 and more). Match URLs by exact path, prefix or regular expression (regex) for precise or pattern-based rules. Enable or disable individual redirects without deleting them. See a hit counter and last-hit timestamp on every redirect so you know what’s actually being used. Manage everything from a full-featured table with search, filters, bulk actions and pagination. Automatic 404 redirection Don’t have a custom rule for a broken URL? Set a global fallback and automatically redirect every leftover 404 error to your homepage, a custom page, or any URL — with the redirect type of your choice. No more dead-end 404 pages costing you visitors and link equity. 404 error logs Know exactly which links are breaking on your site: Log every 404 error with the requested URL, referrer, IP address, user agent and timestamp. Duplicate hits are deduplicated and counted, so a busy broken URL is one row with a hit count — not thousands. Track each error through a lifecycle status (open / ignored / fixed) and filter logs by date. Turn any logged 404 into a redirect in a couple of clicks. GDPR-friendly: IP addresses can be masked, and you can exclude paths you don’t care about from logging. Email notifications Get an email alert when broken links appear, with a configurable hit threshold so busy sites don’t flood your inbox. Stay on top of new 404s without living in the dashboard. Built for performance and developers The plugin does work only on a 404 request — healthy page loads are never touched. Custom redirects are matched by a hashed, indexed lookup for near-instant resolution. REST API at /404-to-301/v1/ for every admin operation.

What is a 301 Redirect? A redirect is a simple way to re-route traffic coming to a Requested URL to different Destination URL. A 301 redirect indicates that the page requested has been permanently moved to the Destination URL, and helps pass on the Requested URLs traffic in a search engine friendly manner. Creating a 301 redirect tells search engines that the Requested URL has moved permanently, and that the content can now be found on the Destination URL. An important feature is that search engines will pass along any clout the Requested URL used to have to the Destination URL.
