404 monitor for WordPress — catch broken URLs, fix them in one click.
Log every 404 hit with referrer, user-agent and hit-count, then redirect the top offenders to the right live URL without leaving wp-admin. No FTP, no .htaccess edits, no lost link-equity.

Every 404, with context
Request URL
The exact path hit, query string preserved for debugging.
Referrer
Internal, external, direct — grouped so you spot bad internal links fast.
User-agent
Bot vs human split, so Googlebot 404s get triaged before human ones.
Hit count
Sorted by frequency; a 404 hit once a month is noise, one hit 400× is a bleed.
One-click to redirect
Every logged 404 has a 'Redirect to…' picker inline: type or search a live URL, pick 301 / 302 / 307, save. The redirect is created in the same table the Redirections module reads from, so it's live immediately with no cache flush.
Auto-ignore rules
Filter out common bot-noise 404s (wp-login probes, /xmlrpc.php, /.env sniffers) so the dashboard shows real editorial gaps, not attack surface.
Common questions
- Does logging every 404 hurt performance?
- No — writes are queued and batched, adding under 3ms to the response of a 404 (which is already a slow, uncached response). Live pages are untouched.
- Can I export the log?
- Yes. CSV export with all seven fields, filterable by date range, referrer type and status of the fix.
