Blaze Redirects 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.

It covers simple 301 redirects, complex conditional rules, a built-in link shortener, and a full 404 monitoring dashboard.

Why Blaze Redirects?

Cache-first routing: zero DB queries on cache hit, with object cache and transient fallback
No bloat: assets load only on the plugin’s own admin pages
REST API with automatic wp_ajax fallback if REST is disabled
Import from Redirection plugin: switch without losing your existing rules
SEO-safe: correct 301/302/307/308/410/451 headers, regex support, and auto-monitoring for slug changes

Redirect Types & URL Matching

HTTP codes: 301, 302, 307, 308, 410, 451
URL matching: Exact, Regex (PCRE), Wildcard (*)
Priority system to resolve conflicts when multiple rules match
Auto-create redirects when post or term slugs change

Conditional Redirects

Apply rules only when specific conditions are met. You can combine any number of conditions:

Login status or user role
Device type (mobile / tablet / desktop)
Country via GeoIP (MaxMind GeoLite2, free tier available)
IP address or CIDR range
HTTP referrer, cookie, or request header
Day of week or time of day

Scheduled Redirects

Set an optional start date/time, end date/time, or both. Schedules run via WP-Cron with no server cron setup required.

404 Monitor & Intelligence

Full 404 log with URL, method, referrer, browser, IP, and timestamp
Fuzzy-match suggestions: one click turns a 404 into a redirect
Bulk-create redirects from selected 404 entries
Email & webhook alerts when 404 rate spikes past a configurable threshold

Custom 404 Page Builder

Design your own 404 page with a visual block editor — no code, no theme edits:

Blocks: built-in SVG illustrations (ghost, planet, rocket), gradient or solid headings, text, images, buttons (solid / outline / ghost), search box, quick-link chips, divider, spacer and footer with {site} / {year} placeholders
Page styling: gradient background with angle control, accent color, four font stacks, optional glassmorphism card (opacity, radius, width, padding) and a Media-Library background image
RTL-ready: page direction (auto / LTR / RTL) plus per-block text direction for Persian, Arabic and other RTL languages
Drag & drop reordering with a per-block toolbar (duplicate, move, delete) and inline text editing
Floating, closable “Block settings” bar that sticks to the top while you scroll
Undo / Redo (Ctrl+Z / Ctrl+Y), Ctrl+S to save, unsaved-changes indicator
Live preview button; a professional default design is always active as a fallback
SEO-safe: served with a real 404 status plus noindex meta tag and X-Robots-Tag header
Visits are still logged under 404 Errors, so you can redirect them later

Built-In Link Shortener

Generates /go/slug short URLs (prefix configurable in Settings)
Auto-generate or set a custom slug
Per-link hit counter
Works correctly in subdirectory WordPress installs

Analytics Dashboard

4 stat cards with trend comparison vs. previous period ( badges)
Daily traffic chart showing redirects vs. 404 errors, with gap-fill
Top Redirects table and Top 404 URLs table
Period selector: 7 days / 30 days / 90 days
Powered by Chart.js (loaded only on the Analytics tab)

Groups

Organise redirects into named groups. Live redirect count badge links directly to the filtered Redirects tab.

Import / Export

Import: CSV, JSON (native or Redirection plugin format), Apache .htaccess
Export: CSV, JSON, Apache .htaccess, Nginx rewrite rules, WP-CLI commands

Developer Tools

REST API at /wp-json/blaze-redirects/v1/ with full CRUD support
WP-CLI: wp blaze-redirects list|add|delete|import|flush-cache
Async 404 logging via queue buffer WP-Cron (avoids write bottlenecks)
PSR-4 autoloader with no Composer dependency and zero global namespace pollution
Multisite network-activation support (per-site redirect tables)

Admin Interface

One sidebar item. All navigation is done via horizontal tabs:

Redirects · 404 Errors · 404 Page · Groups · Short Links · Analytics · Import/Export · Settings · Tools

Modern card-based UI, fully responsive, accessible checkboxes and keyboard navigation throughout.

Minimum Requirements

WordPress 6.0 or higher
PHP 8.0 or higher
MySQL 5.7 / MariaDB 10.3 or higher

Optional

MaxMind GeoLite2-Country.mmdb for country-based redirects (set the file path under Settings GeoIP)
Object cache plugin (e.g. Redis Cache) for the fastest possible cache hit

ຄຳຖາມທີ່ພົບເລື້ອຍ

Will this slow down my site?: No. Redirect matching runs from in-memory object cache or transient. On a cache hit, zero database queries are executed. Admin assets are enqueued only on the plugin’s own pages.
Does it work with the REST API disabled?: Yes. The admin detects REST API availability at runtime and automatically falls back to wp_ajax for every request.
Can I import from the “Redirection” plugin?: Yes. Export your data from Redirection as JSON and import it under Import/Export Import (select JSON format). All rules and groups are preserved.
Does it support GeoIP country redirects?: Yes. Obtain a free MaxMind GeoLite2-Country.mmdb file and set its absolute server path under Settings GeoIP. GDPR note: disclose GeoIP processing in your privacy policy.
How does the link shortener work?: The plugin registers a URL pattern (/go/{slug} by default) on init and handles matching requests before WordPress processes them. The prefix can be changed under Settings Link Shortener or directly from the Short Links tab.
Is it multisite compatible?: Yes. The plugin is network-activatable. Each site in the network manages its own redirect table independently.
Is it compatible with caching plugins?: Full-page caching plugins cache the final HTTP response, which in this case is the redirect header itself (3xx). Blaze Redirects uses its internal cache only for redirect matching, not for full-page output, so the two work alongside each other without conflict.
What HTTP redirect codes are supported?: 301 (Moved Permanently), 302 (Found / Temporary), 307 (Temporary Redirect, method-safe), 308 (Permanent Redirect, method-safe), 410 (Gone), 451 (Unavailable for Legal Reasons).
