Is Weberslink Redirects & 404 Monitor free?

Yes. It is a free download under the GPL and works on as many of your own WordPress sites as you like.

Will it slow my site down?

No. Rules are compiled into one cached structure and exact redirects are a single array lookup, run before WordPress loads the page.

How does the 404 monitor choose a suggestion?

It compares the last part of the missing address with the slugs of your published pages and posts and offers the closest one when it is a confident match (for example /pricing-plan → /pricing-plans/). You always confirm before anything is created.

Does it create redirects when I change a page URL?

Yes, for published posts, pages and other public content. A 301 from the old address to the new one is added automatically, and you can switch this off in Settings.

Can I move my redirects from another plugin?

Export them from the old plugin as CSV with columns source and target (optionally code, match, query, enabled, note) and import the file under Redirects → Tools. Invalid rows are skipped and listed.

Which WordPress and PHP versions does it need?

WordPress 5.9 or newer and PHP 7.4 or newer.

Weberslink Redirects & 404 Monitor: Free WordPress Redirect Plugin

Download ZIP Version 1.0.0 · 23 KB · WordPress 5.9+ · PHP 7.4+ · GPL-2.0-or-later

What's inside

Every kind of redirect: 301, 302, 303, 307, 308 plus 410 Gone and 451 for removed content. Match an exact URL, a whole folder (/blog/x → /news/{rest}) or a regular expression with $1, $2 in the target. Choose what happens to the query string.
404 monitor with smart suggestions: See the addresses visitors asked for that do not exist, most requested first, with the page that linked to them. The plugin finds the closest published page (typos, renamed slugs) so one click fixes it. Bots and image requests are ignored.
Automatic redirects: When a published post or page gets a new URL, a 301 from the old address is created for you, so shared links and search rankings keep working.
Safe by design: Loops, unsafe targets such as javascript: links and broken regular expressions are rejected when you save. The URL tester shows the whole chain and warns about loops and chains that are too long.
Fast: Active rules are compiled into one cached lookup that runs before WordPress loads the page. Thousands of redirects cost almost nothing.
Import, export, tidy up: CSV import with line-by-line error reporting, CSV export (spreadsheet formulas neutralised), hit counts, enable/disable and bulk actions, automatic clean-up of old 404 entries.
