Description

Redirect all 404 missing links to the homepage using a 301 redirect. This means all broken links will still count towards your site’s SEO ranking.

We designed this plugin to be very lightweight. There are no options or settings (or annoying banner ads trying to sell SEO services). Simply activate the plugin and you’re done! It will redirect 404s silently in the background without slowing down your website.

Features

  • Works with any theme.
  • Works on any host.
  • Super lightweight (will not slow down your site).
  • No logs (fully GDPR compliant).
  • Helps with SEO.
  • Unlike other plugins, this is 100% free and we do not sell upgrades/marketing.
  • Go to the Plugins > Add New screen in your WordPress dashboard.
  • Search for “404 to homepage”. Click Install and activate it.
  • That’s all! If you try accessing a page which does not exist, you will be redirected to the homepage.
Will this plugin work with my theme?

Yes, this plugin will work with any theme.

Will this plugin slow down my website?

Nope! This plugin will have no impact on your website’s speed.

How do I know it is working?

Try going to any link on your site which does not exist. e.g. www.example.com/this-does-not-exist. You should be redirected to the homepage.

Fixed all my site's missing links after moving from Wix to WordPress!

Helped me stop the bots

By theleopheard on January 7, 2025

According to my host, my site was being "probed" by automated bots accessing thousands of files which didn't exist. I was able to fix it by installing this plugin since they now all redirect to the homepage instead of clogging my hosting logs with pointless 404/missing entries. Simple!

Excellent
