Biggest opportunity: Swap “url redirection” for “302 redirect”. “url redirection” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #16. “302 redirect” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

of downloads still active
At least 40K of 2.1M lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,764 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 2 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

What to do about it
- Swap “url redirection” for “302 redirect”. “url redirection” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #16. “302 redirect” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- One page off on “url redirection”. #16 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

I was looking for Yoast Redirect alternative that would work to redirect query strings URLs shown in the Search Console. I am amazed to see that it does the work while no other plugin I tried was able to do it. So, this plugin is awesome!!

Perdón. Ha sido un error por mi parte. Sí aparece en la lista de plugins, solo que como aparecía con el nombre en español: “Administrador de redirecciones seguras” no lo encontraba en la lista por “Safe Redirection Manager”. Disculpas de nuevo. This topic was modified 2 years, 4 months ago by Enrachas.

Excellent for those who are not familiar with URL redirections in .htaccess

Simplesmente não funciona. Embora tenha o aviso que tem conflito com o All In one SEO, o AIO tem a ferramenta de redirecionamento somente na versão PRO, e é desativada na versão gratuíta (que eu uso). Porém, mesmo assim, instalando o Safe Redirect Manager não é criado o menu “Ferramentas” > “Safe Redirect Manager”, e portanto simplesmente não tem como acessar a página de configuração do plugin.

Working ok with your basic language- but not with your sup language. So useless if you use WPML

There are lots of redirect plugins available but this is the only one that I recommend and have it installed on all of my sites. Simple to use and, well, it just works – you can’t ask for anything more.
