301 Redirects – Redirect Manager
Great for bulk imports but watch out for sudden disappearing acts.

76/100
Bulk imports work well but intermittent failures and broken updates make it a risky choice for critical sites.

Reviews
what people actually say301 Redirects is a generally well-regarded redirect manager that handles bulk imports and basic use cases well, but carries a notable caveat around reliability — with recurring reports of redirects randomly stopping and a serious post-update breakage affecting paid users.
What people like
- +Bulk CSV upload works well for fixing many broken links at once
- +Easy to use for basic redirect management×3
- +Works as expected for straightforward redirect needs×2
Common complaints
- −Redirects intermittently stop working and require a reset, then fail again after a few days×2
- −A recent update broke the PRO version, sending new users to a 'page not found' error and corrupting roughly 900 existing redirects due to a slash ('/') prefix change
- −Incorrect redirect behavior: appends the old URL query string to the new URL instead of replacing it
- −Not suitable for temporary redirect use cases
- −Key features are locked behind the paid version
