Digsil 404 SEO Guardian
A free WordPress plugin that finds 404 and deleted URLs and fixes them the Google-safe way — a one-click 301 redirect to the right page, or a 410 for content that is gone for good.
Key features
- Logs real 404 hits and separates them from bot and junk URLs
- One-click 301 redirect or 410 Gone, following Google's guidance
- Import the "Not found (404)" export from Google Search Console
- Health check and redirect impact report
- Export rules for Apache, nginx and Cloudflare
- Privacy-friendly: no IP addresses or user agents stored
Why it exists
Deleted posts, changed slugs and broken links leave 404 errors behind. Visitors hit a dead end and the page's search value is lost. Digsil 404 SEO Guardian shows you which missing URLs actually matter and lets you fix each one in a click.
Google-safe fixes
- 301 redirect when a close replacement exists, so links and rankings move to the new page.
- 410 Gone when content was removed on purpose, so search engines drop it faster.
- No blanket redirects to the homepage — Google treats those as soft 404s.
Availability
