Redirect 404 to Homepage

Beskrywing

Redirect all 404 missing links to the homepage using a 301 redirect. This means all broken links will still count towards your site’s SEO ranking.

We designed this plugin to be very lightweight. There are no options or settings (or annoying banner ads trying to sell SEO services). Simply activate the plugin and you’re done! It will redirect 404s silently in the background without slowing down your website.

Features

  • Works with any theme.
  • Works on any host.
  • Super lightweight (will not slow down your site).
  • No logs (fully GDPR compliant).
  • Helps with SEO.
  • 100% free with nothing locked behind a “pro” version.

  • Go to the Plugins > Add New screen in your WordPress dashboard.

  • That’s all! If you try accessing a page which does not exist, you will be redirected to the homepage.

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!
