Top 7 Best WordPress Redirection Plugins

WordPress redirection plugins help you ridirect one url to anther easily without having to do much manual script writing. You may need to redirect a url if you ever change your permalink structure, or you just newly migrated from blogger to wordpress. By now I believe you must have learnt how to scan your wordpress blog for malicious code using TAC and also how to protect it from hackers.

I’m also using one helpful WordPress plugin for great SEO that is Trash Duplicate and 301 Redirect. This plugin can find and remove your duplicate content and redirect it to main URL. Also saves you from being penalized by google for duplicate content. It can be gotten from https://wordpress.org/plugins/trash-duplicate-and-301-redirect/
