Niftee Redirection

Niftee Redirection makes it straightforward to manage redirects, monitor missing pages and understand what happens when visitors follow an old or broken URL.

It is built for site owners, designers and developers who want the useful parts of redirect management without a maze of settings. Whether you are moving one page, tidying an old site structure or checking which missing URLs still receive visits, everything is kept together in a clear interface under Tools.

Redirects without the faff

Add the old URL, choose the appropriate response and enter its new destination. Niftee Redirection supports permanent and temporary redirects as well as direct 410 Gone and 451 Unavailable for Legal Reasons responses.

Rules can use plain or regular-expression matching, with clear query-string handling and simple enabled or disabled states.

See what visitors are finding

The 404 Monitor records missing URLs seen on your site, including hit counts, referrers and when they were last seen. Redirect logs provide a separate view of redirect and status-rule activity, helping you check that rules are doing what you expect.

Monitoring and logs have separate retention controls, so you decide how long each type of record should remain available.

Your site data stays yours

Niftee Redirection does not require an external account and does not send redirect or monitoring data to Niftee. IP anonymisation is enabled by default, and both 404 monitoring and redirect logging can be switched off independently.

Niftee Redirection is free. There is no Pro version, licence key or feature gate.

Portable by design

Export redirect rules as CSV or JSON whenever you need them. Imports support Niftee CSV and JSON files as well as JSON exports from the Redirection plugin, with a preview before anything is added.

Privacy

When 404 monitoring or redirect logging is enabled, the plugin can store requested URLs and query strings, redirect target URLs where applicable, referrer URLs, user agents, IP addresses, request methods, and timestamps.

IP anonymisation is enabled by default, but site administrators can disable it. Administrators can also disable 404 monitoring and redirect logging and configure separate retention periods for 404 records and redirect logs in Settings.

Data remains in your site database and is not sent to Niftee or external services.

Import and export files are handled by site administrators and should be treated as site data.
