Redirection Help: 301 Redirects & 404 Monitoring Done Right

When URLs change – during a relaunch, a domain change or a new permalink structure – 404 errors appear and Google loses the old pages. That costs rankings and users land on error pages. Typical problems with the Redirection plugin: redirects don't apply due to wrong order or regex patterns, whole URL structures need to be redirected by pattern, or redirect chains and loops form that hurt SEO and load time. Monitoring 404 errors to even detect broken links is also often neglected.

We set up the Redirection plugin cleanly: we create 301 redirects from old to new URLs, use regex for whole URL patterns where needed, and avoid chains and loops. Before a relaunch we build a complete URL mapping (old URL to new URL) and import the redirects in bulk. After go-live we enable 404 monitoring, review the logs regularly and redirect newly discovered dead links purposefully. This preserves your link equity. Billed transparently from €79/h incl.
