Safe 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 · 62% 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 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.

   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.
