KOZ 404 Guard & URL Intelligence

KOZ 404 Guard & URL Intelligence finds the addresses on your site that return 404 and helps you fix them, without collecting personal data.

What it does

• 404 log with actions. Every missing address is recorded once and counted. You see the path, how often it is requested, whether a visitor or a bot asked, and which page of your site links to it. One click creates a redirect (with a suggested target), a 410 rule, or hides the row.
• Redirects. Same-site 301, 302, 307 and 308 redirects for exact paths or whole sections (path prefix), optionally keeping the query string. Hit counters, editing, turning rules off, CSV import and export. Loops, duplicates and redirects of WordPress system paths are rejected.
• Address changes. When a published post or page changes its slug, parent or date, the plugin suggests a 301 redirect from the old address, or creates it automatically if you prefer.
• 410 rules. Tell search engines that content was removed on purpose: exact path, path prefix, query key or query key=value.
• Lightweight 404 responses. Missing images, scripts, styles and fonts get a plain 404 instead of a full theme page. Obvious bots get a small page without the theme.
• Internal link check. Scans recently changed content for links to addresses that do not exist and shows which of them already have 404 hits.
• Site Health and dashboard. A Site Health test lists internal links that lead to 404; a dashboard widget shows the top 404 addresses of the week.
• Multilingual sites. Works with KOZ Static Translate language routes and stops WordPress from guessing /de/old-page/ into an unrelated page.

Privacy

• No IP address, User-Agent, query value or external referrer is ever stored.
• Paths and the linking page of your own site are stored only while “Show paths” is on (default). Turning it off removes them and keeps salted fingerprints only.
• The JSON report contains counters and salted fingerprints only.
