SEO-redirects - plugin for Shopy-Script application

With the plugin "SEO-redirects", you can create redirects and change URLs for categories, products, product subpages or informational pages without technical knowledge, and not worry about users or search robots landing on non-existent pages.

Advanced redirect manager: automatically, manually, by theme, without editing .htaccess and other issues!

Main features of plugins:

Automatic redirects
Redirects can be set automatically by selecting recommended settings or configuring them manually. Settings cover common scenarios: changing the URL of a category/product and others.

Integration with plugins
The "Plugin SEO Redirect" plugin is integrated with the "plugins" "SEO-filter" and "Review Catalog". It sets up automatic redirects based on selected configurations.

Manual creation of redirects
You can manually set up a redirect from one page to another. When adding a redirect, options are available to select a website and add a comment.

Pages with 404 errors
Plugin analyzes the website and displays pages returning a 404 response code. You can see how many pages in the site have invalid URLs, remove them from the list, or add a redirect.

Import and export redirects to Excel
Manually created redirects within the plugin can be downloaded in .xls and .xlsx formats via "Export" for editing in Excel, and uploaded back from an .xlsx file using the "Import" feature.

Regular expressions support
Regular expressions are a powerful method for searching and replacing text strings. With regular expressions, the "SEO-redirects" plugin enables solving various problems.

Detailed data on visits
Plugin can collect data (IP, user-agent, operating system, browser) about users who accessed pages returning a 404 response code. Based on this information, you can determine whether they are bots or real users.

You can enable "recommended settings" for automatic redirects and not think about anything else. At a more advanced level, you can manually define your own rules.

1. Redirecting users when changing the site structure;
2. Migrating from http to https protocol and vice versa;
3. Redirecting users after migration from another CMS;
4. Removing "www" from the website address;

This way, the plugin allows you to configure bulk redirects via the site's admin panel without accessing the .htaccess file (Full list of regular expression features).
