Description
Broken links and dead 404 pages ruin visitor trust and damage your search rankings.
Ocasio 301 Redirect Manager gives you a clean, simple way to map old URLs to new destinations. Whenever a visitor or search bot requests an old page, it sends them straight to the new address with a fast, permanent 301 header.
It features instant type-ahead search so you can find published posts and pages without manually copying long URLs.
It hooks into WordPress early on page load, running on pure PHP with zero database bloat and zero impact on your front-end speed.
