The monitor logs every address on your site that leads nowhere, continuously, without you watching, and keeps no IP address or browser of your visitors. You find them in Links → Old links, each with a suggestion of the page it should go to: Fix this link makes the redirect, one button does them all, and Leave it is for the noise. Tracking is on by default (Settings → General: Track 404 errors automatically).
Under Links → Where they go you create 301 (permanent), 302 (temporary) and 307 rules, with wildcard support (/old-section/*), notes, status filters, search and bulk enable/disable; import and export are under Advanced. Every redirect has Test, which says in plain words where a visitor ends up, and tracks its own hit count, so you can see which rules still earn their keep. Change the address of a post or page and the plugin adds the redirect from the old one by itself.
301 for anything permanent. URL changes, deleted content, consolidation; it transfers authority. 302 only for genuinely temporary situations you can put an end date on. The full decision guide: When to use a 301 vs a 302.
A links to B links to C wastes crawl budget: point A directly at C. The plugin doesn’t flag chains for you; Test on a redirect shows where a visitor really ends up, so use it when a target has moved before.
Everything above runs inside your own WordPress admin. From $29/year, with a 14-day refund policy.
