– Requested URL
– Redirected URL
– Match type and score
– IP address
– Referrer URL
– User agent string
This data is used solely for analytics and improving redirect accuracy. You can configure automatic deletion of old logs in the settings.

SOS
-
How does the AI matching work?
-
The plugin uses multiple algorithms:
– Typo Detection: Uses Levenshtein distance to find URLs with similar spelling
– Keyword Matching: Extracts keywords from the URL and searches your content
– Taxonomy Matching: Checks categories and tags for matches
Each match is scored, and the highest-scoring relevant page is selected. -
Will this affect my site’s performance?
-
No. The plugin is optimized for performance with:
– Efficient database queries with proper indexing
– Caching of search results
– Configurable log retention to keep database size manageable
– All processing happens only on 404 pages -
Can I see which URLs are being redirected?
-
Yes! The Logs tab shows all 404 errors with:
– Requested URL
– Redirect destination
– Match type and confidence score
– Number of hits
– Visitor IP and referrer
– Timestamp -
What redirect type should I use?
-
For SEO purposes, we recommend 301 (Permanent Redirect). This tells search engines that the old URL has permanently moved, transferring any SEO value to the new destination.
-
Can I exclude certain URLs from redirection?
-
Currently, you can exclude media files (images, CSS, JS, etc.). We’re working on adding custom exclusion rules in future updates.
-
Does it work with custom post types?
-
Yes! The plugin searches through all public post types, including posts, pages, and custom post types.
-
What happens if no match is found?
-
The plugin will redirect to your configured fallback URL (homepage by default or a custom URL).
