301 Redirects – Redirect Manager

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 · 12% 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. A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

   I had about 70 broken links, and was able to upload and fix them in one upload. This plugin works very well.

   It is fairly simple in its (free) functionality, but it works well and is easy to use. I like the 404 log, to be used as an inspiration for which redirects to set up – and these can, btw., be set up as something else than 301 as well, if you need it. Apparently, the paid version offers better sorting and automatic operation, which sounds like nice features, but I haven’t tried that version.

   It works for a couple of days, then stops, reset it, works for a couple of days then stops again.
