No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price.

Reviewers call it simple and effective for redirects, with support stepping in to help, though some want export, date filtering and lighter pro upsells.

    Their support even helped me to create a redirect rule for mass redirection. Cudos for them:-)

    This plugin is my favorite redirect plugin. The paid version is a must! The log is incredibly useful it tells you countries, browsers, agent types and traffic types. Most redirect plugins just allow you to fix broken URLs, but this one lets you see what’s really happening. These are my suggestions for plugin improvement. – Add a way to whitelist admins.– When a tag is applied to a redirect, this should also populate in the 404 Log tab. – Create another data field on the top menu for bot traffic that isn’t direct website-related. This might be harder to program but it would be nice to quickly sort through malicious bots activity vs broken images/links. For example if you have 83 404s in 24 hrs and 51 redirects in the last 24 hours your left with 32 misc bots. It would be awesome if this had its own tab so its easier to sort what’s good/bad.

    Functional enough plugin and easy to use. Pretty aggressive about upgrades and actively pushes toward the higher tiers of subscription though – no way to download logs, or filter by date, or any of the things a more experienced user would want to do.

    URLS cannot be exported via the backend. The plugins does what it should, but for people with a bit more experience it offers to less options and there are plugins offering the same and even more.
