Nandann AI Smart 404 Redirects – Auto Fix Broken Links & Typos

AI Smart 404 Redirect is an intelligent WordPress plugin that goes beyond simple 404 redirects. Instead of blindly sending all broken links to your homepage, it uses advanced AI algorithms to analyze the requested URL and find the most relevant page on your site.

How It Works

1. Detection: When a visitor encounters a 404 error, the plugin captures the requested URL
2. Analysis: The AI algorithm extracts keywords and analyzes the URL structure
3. Matching: It searches your site for similar pages, posts, categories, or tags
4. Scoring: Each potential match is scored based on relevance
5. Redirect: The visitor is redirected to the most relevant page

Use Cases

• URL Structure Changes: Automatically redirect visitors when you change your permalink structure
• Typos: Fix common typos in manually typed URLs
• Old Content: Redirect to similar content when pages are deleted
• External Links: Handle broken external links pointing to your site
• SEO Improvement: Reduce bounce rate from 404 errors

Privacy

This plugin does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data to external services. All 404 logs and analytics are stored locally in your WordPress database. Email notifications are sent using your WordPress site’s configured mail server.

– Requested URL
– Redirected URL
– Match type and score
– IP address
– Referrer URL
– User agent string

This data is used solely for analytics and improving redirect accuracy. You can configure automatic deletion of old logs in the settings.

The plugin does not:
– Send data to external servers
– Use third-party APIs
– Track users across sites
– Share data with third parties
