Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about 404 Solution
Redirection requires you to manually create redirect rules for each broken URL. 404 Solution automatically finds the best matching page using intelligent algorithms. Example: If a visitor tries /prodcut/awesome-item (typo), Redirection won't do anything unless you manually created that specific redirect. 404 Solution automatically finds /product/awesome-item and redirects them there. Use Redirection when: You need complete manual control over every redirect. Use 404 Solution when: You want automatic intelligent redirects that understand typos and URL variations.
404 to 301 redirects ALL 404 errors to your homepage (or one specific page). 404 Solution finds the actual page the visitor was looking for. Example: A visitor tries to access /category/electronics which doesn't exist. 404 to 301 sends them to your homepage where they're lost. 404 Solution finds /shop/electronics and redirects them there. 404 to 301 is simpler but provides a worse user experience. 404 Solution is smarter and keeps visitors engaged.
No, 404 Solution is highly optimized and has minimal performance impact for most sites. The plugin uses: * N-gram indexing for fast URL matching * Performance optimizations for large sites (10,000+ pages) * Efficient database queries with proper caching Important: For very high-traffic sites with thousands of simultaneous users, disable "Create automatic redirects" and don't use the shortcode to ensure optimal performance.
Yes! 404 Solution is specifically optimized for WooCommerce and handles: * Products and product variations * Product categories and tags * Custom product URLs * Shop pages and archives
404 Solution uses multiple algorithms to find the best match: Spell-checking – Uses Levenshtein distance to find pages with similar spelling N-gram similarity – Compares character sequences to find similar URLs Word matching – Identifies pages with similar words in the URL URL structure – Considers the structure and length of URLs These algorithms work together to find the most likely page the visitor intended to reach.
No. 404 Solution ONLY processes actual 404 errors (pages that don't exist). It will never redirect an existing page. If you're experiencing unexpected redirects, check:
3. Enable debug logging (Options page) to see exactly what's happening
Immediately! As long as "Capture incoming 404 URLs" is enabled, 404 errors appear in the captured list as soon as a visitor hits a 404 page.
Yes! 404 Solution records the page/post ID number and looks up the most current permalink before redirecting. This means: * If you change your permalink structure, redirects automatically update * If you rename a page, redirects point to the new URL * No manual updates needed when URLs change
Yes. Go to 404 Solution → Options → Redirect all unhandled 404s to and select your preferred page. This is useful for: * Custom 404 pages with special messaging * Fallback pages when no good match is found * Temporary catch-all during site migrations
