Introduction

Easy Redirects is the JoomlaX redirect and 404 manager for Joomla 4, 5, and 6. Old URLs land somewhere useful: rules, a clean 404 log, alias auto-redirect, and migration import.

Live demo: demo.joomlax.com/demo/utilities/easy-redirects

Think of it as three pieces that work together:

• Component (Easy Redirects): Dashboard, Rules, 404 Log, URL Tester, Import, Configuration.
• System plugin: matches requests and captures 404s on the public site.
• Content plugin: creates redirects when article, category, or menu aliases change.

What you can do

• Exact, starts-with, wildcard, and regex rules (with $1 groups)
• Fix a 404 in one click with smart suggestions
• Import CSV or core Redirect maps
• Flatten redirect chains and dry-run URLs before go-live
• Optional branded 404 page mode
