What Redirection (WP Plugin) users are saying
“The Redirection plugin works great on WordPress but we also have a Webflow marketing site. Two different systems for managing redirects is painful.”
“No chain detection. We had A→B and B→C as separate redirects and didn't realize we'd created a chain until Google flagged it in Search Console.”
“Once we hit 1,000+ redirects the plugin started slowing down the admin. Had to split into multiple regex rules to keep things manageable.”
