404 Solution
A WordPress plugin that automatically captures 404 errors and creates redirects to keep your visitors on track and your SEO intact.
what it does / the short version
404 Solution monitors your WordPress site for broken URLs and helps you fix them.
When a visitor hits a page that no longer exists, the plugin can automatically redirect them to the right place or suggest similar pages.
Automatic redirects
Capture 404 errors as they happen and create redirects with a single click, or let the plugin handle it automatically.
Page suggestions
When no redirect exists, the plugin uses intelligent matching to suggest similar pages to your visitors.
Search Console integration
Connect to Google Search Console to see which broken URLs were actually getting search traffic, so you can prioritize fixes.
Privacy-first
IP addresses are hashed before storage. All data stays in your WordPress database. Nothing is sent to external servers.
search console integration / optional
404 Solution can optionally connect to your Google Search Console account to show you which broken URLs were receiving real search traffic. This helps you prioritize which 404 errors to fix first.
The integration uses read-only access (the webmasters.readonly scope) and connects through a secure OAuth proxy hosted at 404-solution-auth.forethought-studio.com. The proxy processes authorization tokens transiently and does not store any user data.
how it works
- Install and activate the plugin on your WordPress site.
- The plugin immediately begins capturing 404 errors from your site's traffic.
- Review captured URLs in the admin dashboard and create redirects as needed.
- Optionally, connect Google Search Console with one click to see search traffic data for broken URLs.
