AI 404 Redirect uses artificial intelligence to intelligently redirect users when they encounter 404 errors on your WordPress site. Instead of showing a generic 404 page, the plugin analyzes the requested URL and finds the most relevant existing content to redirect users to.

Key Features:

AI-Powered Matching: Uses advanced AI to understand the context and intent of broken URLs
Smart Content Discovery: Automatically analyzes all your posts, pages, categories, and tags
Manual Override System: Create custom redirects for specific URLs when needed
Comprehensive Analytics: Track 404 hits, redirect performance, and user behavior
SEO Friendly: Maintains proper HTTP status codes (301/302) for search engines
Conflict Detection: Automatically detects and warns about conflicting redirect plugins
Easy Management: User-friendly admin interface for monitoring and managing redirects

How It Works:

When a user hits a 404 page, the plugin captures the broken URL
AI analyzes the URL context against your site’s available content
The system finds the most relevant match from your posts, pages, and archives
Users are seamlessly redirected to the best matching content
All redirects are logged for analysis and optimization

Perfect For:

Sites with changed URL structures
Migrated content or restructured websites
Improving user experience and reducing bounce rates
Maintaining SEO value from broken links
E-commerce sites with product URL changes

Third-Party Services

This plugin connects to external services to provide AI-powered 404 redirect functionality. Below is detailed information about data transmission and privacy:

Pollinations.ai API Service:
* Service: Pollinations.ai text generation API
* Endpoint: https://text.pollinations.ai/openai
* Purpose: AI analysis of broken URLs to find the most relevant matching content from your site
* When data is sent: Only when a 404 error occurs and the plugin needs to find a matching redirect
* Data transmitted:
– The requested URL path that resulted in a 404 error
– A list of available routes (URLs) from your WordPress site (posts, pages, categories, tags)
– No personal information, user data, IP addresses, or sensitive information is sent
* Privacy: The plugin only sends public URL paths from your site for analysis. No user data, cookies, or personal information is transmitted
* Terms of Service: Please review Pollinations.ai’s terms at https://pollinations.ai/
* Privacy Policy: Please review their privacy policy at https://pollinations.ai/

Data Processing:
The AI service analyzes the broken URL against your site’s available content to suggest the most relevant redirect destination. This processing happens on Pollinations.ai’s servers and the plugin only receives back a suggested URL path from your own site.

Legal Compliance:
This plugin is designed to comply with privacy regulations by only transmitting public URL information and no personal data. However, please review the third-party service terms to ensure compliance with your local regulations.
