About this plugin
Web Makinası – 404 Manager helps site administrators find missing URLs and create deliberate redirect rules without installing a large SEO suite.
The plugin stores one aggregated record per missing path instead of creating a separate row for every visit. It does not store IP addresses, user accounts, or full browser user-agent strings.
