Prices are the vendors' published plans in September 2026. Redirection is a good free 301 tool; it has no geo, device, rotation or scheduling. Rank Math includes redirects only as part of its full SEO suite.
- What to redirect: the entire website, selected posts, pages and categories, a list of custom paths, or every 404 page.
- Where to: one URL, a rotating list (first to last, random, or weighted with a slider), a link or button already on the page, or the same path on another domain.
- Method: 301, 302, 307, 308, JavaScript (with optional delay, new tab, or wait-for-click), meta refresh.
- Frequency: every visit, once per visitor (by IP or IP plus device), or again after a delay you set; redirect only every N-th unique visitor.
- Geo filter: include only listed countries, or redirect everyone except them. Proxy and CDN aware.
- Device targeting: desktop, mobile, tablet.
- Scheduling: start and end date and time, your timezone.
- Statistics per rule, purge page cache on save (WP Rocket, LiteSpeed, W3 Total Cache, WP Super Cache and more), import and export.
- AI-agent ready: every feature is exposed through the WordPress Abilities API and MCP, see below.
Since 1.4.0, on WordPress 6.9 and newer, DevDome Redirect Manager registers every feature of the plugin as WordPress Abilities. Any AI agent or MCP client connected to the site through the official WordPress MCP Adapter discovers them automatically, so you can ask Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor "create a 302 for /old-promo/ to the new landing page for US and Canadian mobile visitors, weekdays 9 to 17 Berlin time, but don't start it yet" and the agent fills in every option. Every ability runs the same code as the plugin screens and is guarded by the same administrator capability; nothing is exposed to anonymous requests.

All fifteen are public and show_in_rest (GET /wp-json/wp-abilities/v1/abilities, authenticated). Read abilities carry
the readonly annotation, add and modify abilities are non-destructive, and the two destroy abilities are annotated
destructive and refuse to run without an explicit confirm: true. On the MCP Adapter's default server they appear as
direct tools (devdome-redirect-manager-create-redirect and so on) next to the adapter's discover / execute meta-tools.
Try it: install the MCP Adapter, create an application password for an administrator, then add the site to Claude Code:
{"mcpServers":{"my-site":{"type":"http","url":"https://example.com/wp-json/mcp/mcp-adapter-default-server","headers":{"Authorization":"Basic <base64 user:application-password>"}}}}Verified 2026-09-10 with Claude Code as the MCP client: a full-option create request ("302, Black Friday mobile, US and CA, weekdays 9 to 17 Berlin, once per visitor, don't start") produced a correct stopped rule unaided, a rename of a rule that did not exist was refused instead of guessed, and a subscriber account was denied.
Redirect rules: independent rules with priority, nickname and statistics.
Redirect setup: targets, method, destinations, rotation order and frequency.
Geo filter: listed countries only, or everyone except them.
Device targeting and optional settings.
Scheduling: run a rule between dates and times.
WordPress 6.0+, PHP 7.4+. Geo filtering uses the DevDome geo service.
