DenArt – SEO Wipe (HTTP 410 Gone) vs SX No author Pagination

DenArt – SEO Wipe (HTTP 410 Gone) automatically returns a correct HTTP 410 (Gone) status code when posts or pages are deleted. This tells search engines the content is permanently gone – not temporarily missing – so they remove it from their index faster and stop wasting crawl budget on dead URLs. Why 410 matters for SEO Eliminates soft-404 ambiguity (WordPress default: 404 for all missing content) Signals permanent removal to Googlebot, Bingbot, and other crawlers Reduces crawl budget waste on URLs that will never return Prevents deleted content polluting your search index Reduces CDN log noise and unnecessary bandwidth from bot traffic Free features (no account required) Automatic 410 Gone responses for deleted posts and pages Manual Gone URL management – add, edit, import, and delete gone entries Post-type selector – choose which content types trigger 410 detection Configurable URL exclusions – keep specific paths returning 404 instead Optional custom 410 page title and message Pro features (requires active license) Feature Description Activity Log Every 410 hit logged with path, status code, timestamp, browser/bot type, and referrer domain Bot Analytics 24-hour bot breakdown by name with donut chart; 14-day bot vs human traffic chart URL Pattern Rules Force-410 or allow specific URL patterns – exact, prefix, wildcard, or full regex Smart Lookup Mode Zero false positives; only URLs in the Gone table return 410 Smart Slug Redirects Automatic 301 redirects when you rename a post slug, preserving SEO equity Headers-Only 410 Mode Send 410 status and X-Robots-Tag headers while your theme renders the page body Email Reports HTML-formatted activity reports with top paths, sent daily, weekly, or monthly CSV Export Export activity log or gone URL list to CSV Custom 410 HTML Replace the default 410 page with fully custom HTML Pro features activate automatically after connecting your site and entering a valid license key.

With SX No author Pagination, you can easily remove properly any author pagination. It also redirects useless paginated content on author pages. It’s really usefull for SEO purposes, because it removes duplicated content on author pages. This SEO enhancement is already included in our SEOKEY plugin. By ticking a simple option, the author’s pagination is cleanly deleted and redirected. Better still, SEOKEY also manages old paginations that have disappeared and are generating 404 error pages, for example when you delete old content for a specific author.
