<p>This plugin will issue a HTTP <code>410</code> response to requests for articles that no longer exist on your blog. When you delete a post or page, it records the URL for that page and issues a <code>410</code> response when that URL is requested. You can also manually manage the list of obsolete URLs.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec10.html#sec10.4.11" rel="nofollow ugc">HTTP Specification</a> defines the <code>410</code> response header for use when a resource has been permanently removed. It informs robots visiting your site that the requested content has gone, and that they should stop trying to access it.</p>
<p>If you come across any bugs or have suggestions, please use the plugin support forum. I can’t fix it if I don’t know it’s broken! Please check the <a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-410/faq/" rel="ugc">FAQ</a> for common issues.</p>
