<p><strong>Blaze Redirects</strong> is a fast, lightweight redirect manager for WordPress. It uses a cache-first router that runs zero database queries on a cache hit, so redirect matching is nearly instant. The admin interface is clean and tabbed, keeping everything in one place.</p>
<p>It covers simple 301 redirects, complex conditional rules, a built-in link shortener, and a full 404 monitoring dashboard.</p>
<h4>Why Blaze Redirects?</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Cache-first routing</strong>: zero DB queries on cache hit, with object cache and transient fallback</li>
<li><strong>No bloat</strong>: assets load only on the plugin’s own admin pages</li>
<li><strong>REST API</strong> with automatic <code>wp_ajax</code> fallback if REST is disabled</li>
<li><strong>Import from Redirection plugin</strong>: switch without losing your existing rules</li>
<li><strong>SEO-safe</strong>: correct 301/302/307/308/410/451 headers, regex support, and auto-monitoring for slug changes</li>
</ul>
<h4>Redirect Types & URL Matching</h4>
<ul>
<li>HTTP codes: 301, 302, 307, 308, 410, 451</li>
<li>URL matching: Exact, Regex (PCRE), Wildcard (<code>*</code>)</li>
<li>Priority system to resolve conflicts when multiple rules match</li>
<li>Auto-create redirects when post or term slugs change</li>
</ul>
<h4>Conditional Redirects</h4>
<p>Apply rules only when specific conditions are met. You can combine any number of conditions:</p>
<ul>
<li>Login status or user role</li>
<li>Device type (mobile / tablet / desktop)</li>
<li>Country via GeoIP (MaxMind GeoLite2, free tier available)</li>
<li>IP address or CIDR range</li>
<li>HTTP referrer, cookie, or request header</li>
<li>Day of week or time of day</li>
</ul>
<h4>Scheduled Redirects</h4>
<p>Set an optional start date/time, end date/time, or both. Schedules run via WP-Cron with no server cron setup required.</p>
<h4>404 Monitor & Intelligence</h4>
<ul>
<li>Full 404 log with URL, method, referrer, browser, IP, and timestamp</li>
<li>Fuzzy-match suggestions: one click turns a 404 into a redirect</li>
<li>Bulk-create redirects from selected 404 entries</li>
<li>Email & webhook alerts when 404 rate spikes past a configurable threshold</li>
</ul>
<h4>Built-In Link Shortener</h4>
<ul>
<li>Generates <code>/go/slug</code> short URLs (prefix configurable in Settings)</li>
<li>Auto-generate or set a custom slug</li>
<li>Per-link hit counter</li>
<li>Works correctly in subdirectory WordPress installs</li>
</ul>
<h4>Analytics Dashboard</h4>
<ul>
<li>4 stat cards with trend comparison vs. previous period (<span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">↑</span><span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">↓</span> badges)</li>
<li>Daily traffic chart showing redirects vs. 404 errors, with gap-fill</li>
<li>Top Redirects table and Top 404 URLs table</li>
<li>Period selector: 7 days / 30 days / 90 days</li>
<li>Powered by Chart.js (loaded only on the Analytics tab)</li>
</ul>
<h4>Groups</h4>
<p>Organise redirects into named groups. Live redirect count badge links directly to the filtered Redirects tab.</p>
<h4>Import / Export</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Import:</strong> CSV, JSON (native or Redirection plugin format), Apache <code>.htaccess</code></li>
<li><strong>Export:</strong> CSV, JSON, Apache <code>.htaccess</code>, Nginx rewrite rules, WP-CLI commands</li>
</ul>
<h4>Developer Tools</h4>

<li>WP-CLI: <code>wp blaze-redirects list|add|delete|import|flush-cache</code></li>
<li>Async 404 logging via queue buffer <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> WP-Cron (avoids write bottlenecks)</li>
<li>PSR-4 autoloader with no Composer dependency and zero global namespace pollution</li>
<li>Multisite network-activation support (per-site redirect tables)</li>
</ul>
