3. Smart Redirects

   Smart Redirects – Intelligent Redirects for Joomla

   Smart Redirects is the central control hub for redirects in Joomla. Automatic, clean, reliable — and built for websites that grow. Whether it’s a relaunch, restructuring, SEO improvement, or 404 monitoring: Smart Redirects ensures that visitors and search engines always reach the right destination.

   Why Smart Redirects?

   Many Joomla sites handle redirects reactively: an error occurs, a redirect is created — done. That may work for small websites, but after a relaunch, content migration, or major SEO project, things can quickly become messy and inefficient. Smart Redirects takes redirects to the next level. Instead of treating them as isolated fixes, the extension turns redirects into a strategic tool for quality assurance, user experience, and search engine optimization. It helps you detect issues early, work systematically, and make long-term decisions.

   Key features

   ✅ Automatic 404 logging — no more manual error hunting
   ✅ Create redirects with one click — save time and prevent traffic loss
   ✅ Supports exact, wildcard & RegEx redirects — ideal for blogs, shops, migrations & complex site structures
   ✅ Tracks redirect hits and trends — understand what’s truly needed
   ✅ Unified management interface — redirects, error logs & tools in one place
   ✅ Clear, modern UI — easy for admins, agencies & SEO teams
   ✅ Built for scalability — reliable even on large, evolving websites

   Who Is It For?

   • Website owners who want full control
   • Agencies managing multiple Joomla installations
   • SEO professionals working with redirects strategically
   • Projects involving migration, restructuring or relaunch
