## Beskrivelse

URL Pathfinder is a powerful WordPress plugin that helps reduce 404 errors by intelligently
redirecting visitors to the closest matching content on your website. Using advanced
fuzzy matching algorithms, the plugin analyzes broken URL requests and finds the
most relevant post or page to redirect visitors to.

**Key Features:**

 * Intelligent 404 handling with fuzzy matching
 * Automatic redirection to closest matching content
 * Rate limiting to prevent abuse
 * Caching for improved performance
 * Admin bar notice to enable/disable the plugin without deactivating it
 * Support for multiple post types
 * Bad URL filtering

### Usage

Once activated, URL Pathfinder automatically handles 404 errors without requiring
any configuration. The plugin:

 1. Detects when a visitor encounters a 404 error
 2. Analyzes the requested URL
 3. Searches for the closest matching permalink
 4. Redirects the visitor to the best matching page or post

**Admin Bar Control:**

You can quickly enable or disable the plugin using the admin bar notice:
 – Click
on “URL Pathfinder ON” (enabled) or “URL Pathfinder OFF” (disabled) – Changes take
effect immediately without page reload

### Configuration

The plugin comes with sensible defaults and works out of the box, including:

 * **Rate Limiting**: Prevents excessive redirect attempts
 * **Bad URL Filtering**: Excludes system and bot URLs from processing
 * **Caching**: Improves performance by caching fuzzy matching results

### Technical Details

**Performance:**

 * Caching reduces database queries
 * Rate limiting prevents performance issues
 * Early exit for blocked URLs
 * Efficient fuzzy matching algorithm

The plugin uses 302 redirects which are SEO-friendly. However, it’s recommended 
to fix broken links rather than relying on automatic redirects.

### Can I deactivate the plugin temporarily?

Yes, click on the admin bar notice to quickly enable/disable it without deactivating
the plugin itself.

### How does fuzzy matching work?

match based on string similarity.
