User sentiment analysis

Users appreciate the WP 404 Auto Redirect to Similar Post plugin for its ability to intelligently manage 404 errors by redirecting users to the most relevant content. It is easy to install and works automatically, saving users the time and hassle of manual redirections. The plugin boosts SEO by preserving backlinks and preventing loss of page authority. Drawbacks include issues with infrequent updates, causing it to become less reliable over time. Some users reported that redirects occasionally point to irrelevant pages like media files. Additionally, the plugin lacks features like logging recent activities, which would help users track redirects for better management. Despite these, it remains highly valued for its core functionality.

What an amazing plugin. Install it, and your 404 problems disappear…and I don’t mean just hidden…they are now MANAGED by intelligent redirection to appropriate content. Set it and forget it. This plugin made me look like a HERO to my client who bungled their URL’s during a mass import. Fixed them in 5 minutes over the phone.

I run an online shop and the products change often. If I delete products, the customer ends up on a 404 page. Now, the plugin redirects the customer to a similar product page. Most of the time the selection is very good. As a fallback, I was able to enter a self-designed 404 landing page. This is how GOOGLE loves me again.

It does what it promises. I thought it messes up google search console but it are probably due other reasons independent on this plugin. Thank u for the explanation and sorry for the wrong bad rating. This topic was modified 8 months ago by motmat. This topic was modified 8 months ago by motmat.
