Best Redirection WordPress Plugins

6 plugins · 3.8M combined installs · 4.6/5 avg rating

WordPress redirection plugins manage URL redirect rules — 301 permanent, 302 temporary, 307, and 410 gone — through an admin interface without requiring server config file access. They are essential during site migrations, permalink structure changes, content consolidations, and URL slug edits that would otherwise leave broken inbound links and destroy hard-earned search engine rankings. Beyond manual redirect management, the best plugins automatically create redirects when post slugs change, log 404 errors to identify redirect opportunities, and support regex-based pattern matching for bulk URL transformations. SEO professionals, site migration specialists, and any WordPress operator managing an established site with inbound links rely on redirection plugins to preserve link equity and visitor experience.
