Useful from day one
Exact redirects, native CSV import/export, URL-change suggestions, basic 404 counts and rule recovery are included in Free. Advanced management is a separate Pro add-on.
Match with control
Up to 5,000 rules, including 200 advanced rules. Free creates exact rules. Activated Pro adds wildcard and bounded regex matching, query conditions, case/slash controls and priorities. Existing advanced rules keep running without Pro. Test representative URLs before publishing.
Local by default
Free works locally without a service account. Optional counters exclude visitor identifiers. URL paths can still contain personal data; review your own privacy notice.
EDITION UPDATE · 0.5.4
Less repetitive work.
Catch changed URLs
Review permalink-change suggestions and manage individual rules. Pro adds automatic publication and bulk changes.
Bring your existing rules
Preview native CSV imports and export your rules. Pro adds Redirection, Rank Math and Simple 301 adapters. Snapshot recovery stays available in Free.
See what needs attention
Basic local 404 totals and environment checks. Pro adds hit statistics and advanced retention/filter settings. Multisite keeps each site’s rules separate, with a network overview for administrators.
Is Free a trial, or does it keep working?
Free is a standalone plugin. There is no expiry date, subscription or customer account. Pro is a separate optional add-on.
Are the paid features included but locked?
No. Free contains its own working tools, with a contextual link to explore Pro. It does not include locked Pro controls or the paid implementation.
Can I move rules from another plugin?
Free previews native CSV imports; activated Pro adds supported Redirection, Rank Math and Simple 301 adapters. Review the report before importing: not every conditional rule can be transferred. Check supported imports.
Can I try it before installing?
Yes. The quick demo runs in your browser without registration. It simulates selected workflows; it does not run PHP or check live destinations. The native WordPress sandbox is not available yet.
Where can I download the plugin?
Purchase Pro from the pricing page, then access your downloads through your customer account or private purchase link. See the installation guide for Free download options. See current availability.
