Reviews

Can you add an option to redirect to multiple URL?

24. September 2021
In my case I need to redirect multiple URL, for example https://website.com/anypage/ to https://anotherwebsite.net/anypage/ This plugin only redirects to 1 URL, if you add that option I would definitely use it and give it a 5 star rating

Works exactly as you’d hope!

7. Oktober 2020
Perfect example of a narrow-use plugin that does a single task extremely well, without padding it out with lots of fluff. Like one of the other reviewers, I’d been struggling with a more well known and well used GEO redirection plugin with no luck. This one worked first time.
