All 404 Redirect 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

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

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

Modeled within the band wp.org reports; tightens as we track daily.

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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   It is bad practice to redirect all 404s to your homepage. The 404 error code exists for a reason: to tell bots and people that the page doesn’t exist. If the page was changed to a new url, you should do a 301 or 302 redirect, but if the page never existed in the first place, then 404 is correct. If the page previously existed but was deleted, then 410. If you redirect all 404s to your homepage, this will confuse bots and visitors and lower your page rank on search engines because they will detect that your site is not set up properly. Be honest about what you are doing; if a page does not exist, tell the user that.

   IT saved my site after I noticed a lot of 404 errors affecting my rankings. Instead of users landing on broken pages, they now get redirected smoothly to my homepage. Easy to set up, lightweight, and does exactly what it promises. Highly recommended for WordPress users dealing with lost links or migration issues!

   Nothing to do other than restart the objet cache 4 everyone extension as suggested. Now all my 404 are automatically redirected. Good 🙂

   Perfect little plugin that needs no setup/configurations. It works straight out of the box.

   Seems to generate thousands of imaginary 404 errors just to sell the paid version. Seriously ?
