Redirect 404 to Homepage

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 100% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

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 keep calling it simple and quick to set up, with several saying it cleaned up broken links and 404 traffic exactly as expected, and just one recent complaint about a lack of management options.

   According to my host, my site was being “probed” by automated bots accessing thousands of files which didn’t exist. I was able to fix it by installing this plugin since they now all redirect to the homepage instead of clogging my hosting logs with pointless 404/missing entries. Simple!
