FAQ

Does this plugin slow down my website?

No! RM Smart Redirects is highly optimized and only runs when a 404 error occurs. It uses efficient database queries and caching to minimize performance impact.

WhatÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’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 donÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’t transfer SEO value.

For SEO purposes, use 301 redirects in most cases.

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 doesnÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’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
