Useful from day one
Exact redirects with direct test links, import fit summaries, bulk enable/pause/delete, URL-change and deletion reviews, searchable 404 review, optional counts and recovery are included in Free. Pro adds advanced matching and reviewed repair, care and migration tools.
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 and request conditions, case/slash controls and priorities. Advanced redirects require Pro to remain installed and active. If Pro is removed or inactive, those rules stay saved but do not run. Free can still pause, delete, export and recover them; restoring compatible Pro resumes their matching. 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.
Clean up selected rules
Enable, pause or delete several rules in one confirmed action. Changing groups in bulk is a Pro tool.
Review converted rules
Preview basic Redirection conversions and acknowledge encoded-path differences before import. Advanced matching options and unsupported conditions are not discarded.
Preview before applying
See which rows fit Free, need Pro converter evaluation or need manual work. Download row errors, correct the file and preview again. Any rejected row blocks the entire import; buying Pro does not fix malformed input.
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. Explore Pro explains the separate add-on through three worked examples and expandable workflow details. A small Advanced matching link below the exact-path help opens its explanation when the Pro editor is unavailable. Free has no disabled Pro fields, automatic upgrade prompts or conversion telemetry.
Can I move rules from another plugin?
Free imports native CSV and basic exact-rule conversions from Redirection JSON. It also previews Rank Math CSV; importing its trailing-slash behavior requires Pro. Simple 301 exports are available for conversion review and need a manually prepared mapping in either edition. Query modes, patterns and other advanced options require Pro where supported. Competitor conversions require acknowledgement of encoded-path differences before import. Rejected rows block the import; unsupported conditions are never silently removed. Check supported imports.
Can I try it before installing?
Yes. The WordPress demo runs the actual 0.10.5 plugins in a temporary sample site without registration. Your website is not connected. External checks, email, account connections and scheduled execution are disabled.
Where can I download the plugin?
Download Free 1.1.2 and follow the installation guide. See current availability.

Pro is a separate add-on with initial site activation. Fresh pair: install Free 1.1.2 first, then Pro 1.1.2. Existing pair: update Pro first, then Free without uninstalling. Installed Pro features remain usable on that activated site after ordinary subscription expiry; renew for downloads, updates and new activations. Advanced redirects require Pro to remain installed and active. If Pro is removed or inactive, those rules stay saved but do not run. Free can still pause, delete, export and recover them; restoring compatible Pro resumes their matching.
Both editions share a 5,000-rule limit, including at most 200 advanced rules; rule imports must be below 2 MB. Retention, daily path limits, noise filtering and ignored prefixes are included in Free. Seven days and 1,000 distinct missing paths per day are the defaults; retention can be set to 7, 30 or 90 days. Existing settings are preserved until changed. Request conditions require cache exclusions and are not access controls. Read the matching, scanner and cleanup limits.
Use Free 1.1.2 with Pro 1.1.2 for Smart repair, Auto-Mapper, Lifecycle and internal-link cleanup. These tools require administrator access. Suggestions compare words and paths, not content meaning; nothing is selected or published automatically. Cleanup supports eligible classic HTML and stable core paragraph, list and button blocks with WordPress revisions. Custom or dynamic blocks, builders and unsupported markup need manual editing.
Free imports supported basic Redirection conversions. Rank Math conversions need Pro for trailing-slash matching; Simple 301 needs manual conversion in either edition. Review encoded-path differences before switching. Unsupported conditions are rejected, and any rejected row blocks the import. Check import compatibility.
