It uses efficient database queries and caching to minimize performance impact. ### What’s the difference between 301 and 302 redirects? * **301 (Permanent)**: Use this when a page has permanently moved. Search engines transfer SEO value to the new URL. * **302 (Temporary)**: Use this for temporary redirects. Search engines don’t transfer SEO value. For SEO purposes, use 301 redirects in most cases. ### Can I redirect to external URLs? Yes! You can redirect to any external URL (e.g., `https://example.com`). The plugin automatically detects and handles external redirects. ### Does it work with custom post types? Yes! The plugin works with all post types including custom post types, pages, and WooCommerce products. ### How does the hierarchical fallback work? If someone visits `/blog/category/post-title/` and it doesn’t exist, the plugin will: 1. Check for an exact redirect 2. Try `/blog/category/` (parent) 3. Try `/ blog/` (grandparent) 4. Log as 404 if no fallback found This prevents unnecessary 404 errors while maintaining user experience. ### Can I bulk import redirects? Yes! Use the **Tools > Import** feature to upload a CSV file with your redirects. Format: `source_url,target_url,type,status /old-page,/new-page,301,active ### Does it detect when I change a post slug? Yes! The plugin automatically creates a redirect when you change a post or page slug, ensuring no broken links. ### How do I upgrade to PRO? Visit [razibmarketing.com](https://razibmarketing.com/rm-smart-redirects-pro/) to purchase the PRO add-on. It installs alongside the free version and adds premium features. ### Is it compatible with multisite? Yes, RM Smart Redirects works on WordPress multisite installations. Each site has its own redirect rules. ### Where is my data stored? All redirect rules and 404 logs are stored in your WordPress database using custom tables (`rmsmart_redirects` and `rmsmart_404_logs`, prefixed with your database prefix). ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “RM Smart Redirects” is open source software.
