User sentiment analysis

Users generally appreciate this WordPress plugin for its ease of use, powerful features, and reliability in managing redirects. It simplifies the process of fixing broken links, improving SEO, and maintaining a site's structure during updates or migrations. Users find the ability to bulk import/export rules, monitor 404 errors, and automatically handle URL changes particularly helpful. However, drawbacks include occasional compatibility issues, such as problems with too many redirects, site slowdowns, or conflicts with other plugins and themes. Some users also noted that specific features like the "Relocate Site" option don't work well under HTTPS, and there are reports of infinite loops and database errors. Despite these issues, the plugin is highly praised for its robust functionality and consistent updates.

Super useful, perhaps indispensible, plugin to manage casual occassional redirects on page/post changes, but also common regex stuff like retired /AMP pages to canonical posts, etc.
