DeveloperManage 301/302 redirects with regex and wildcard support, hide your wp-login URL, and auto-fix 404 broken links for SEO.
Linkrail is a fast, lightweight URL redirect and link-repair plugin for WordPress. Built for sites that need real redirect power without the bloat — unlimited redirects, regex and wildcard matching, automatic 404 detection, login URL hiding, and a clean admin UI that stays out of your way.
Why Linkrail?
Most redirect plugins do one thing. Linkrail bundles three things every serious WordPress site actually needs:
- Redirect Manager — 301, 302, 307, 308, and 410 Gone redirects with exact, prefix, regex, and wildcard matching.
- Admin URL Security — hide your
/wp-login.phpbehind a custom slug to stop brute-force bots cold. - SEO 404 Broken Link Fixer — auto-detects 404s across your site and suggests or auto-creates redirects to recover lost traffic.
All features are 100% free. No license keys, no upsells, no feature gating.
