Why Magento 2 404 redirects help decide the success of your shop
Every shop accumulates dead links over time: products expire, categories are renamed, a relaunch changes the URL structure. Visitors land on an error page, search engines lose trust in old addresses and the link equity of external references evaporates. Magento 2 only ships manual maintenance of URL rewrites, a log of the missing addresses that are actually requested is not included. This page covers Magento 2 404 redirects in detail.
This module closes exactly that gap. It logs 404 requests, ranks them by frequency and origin, proposes matching targets from your catalog and stores confirmed Magento 2 404 redirects as regular URL rewrites. If you need to redirect many addresses at once, you import a CSV list with a validation report. Mironsoft sets it up in your shop, compatible with Hyvä and without extra frontend JavaScript.
Magento 2 404 redirects: find broken links before visitors and search engines do
Every missing URL is captured, scored and turned into a clean redirect in a few clicks.
404 log
Every requested but missing URL with hit count, first and last access.
Similarity matching
Proposes the most likely target from products, categories and CMS pages.
Redirect per click
Accept the suggestion or enter a target by hand, as 301 or 302.
CSV import and export

SEO report
Shows which dead URLs are hit most often and from which pages.
Ignore lists and bot filter

Fix 404 errors in Magento: first see what visitors really fail to find
For Magento 2 404 redirects the module counts every request to a missing URL and stores path, store view, referrer, first and last hit. That tells you at once whether a link in a newsletter, on a third-party site or in an old search index still points to a former product. Requests from scanners and bots can be hidden by pattern.
- Hit count, referrer and time range per URL
- Ignore list with patterns, e.g. for asset paths and typical scanner requests
- Optional bot flag based on the user agent
Magento 2 404 redirects per click: from a dead link to a clean 301
For each captured URL the module scores similarity against your catalog URL keys and names. The best match is shown with its score and you confirm it for your Magento 2 404 redirects or pick another target. Each of the Magento 2 404 redirects is stored as a standard Magento custom URL rewrite, so no second redirect engine is introduced.
- Several suggestions with similarity score, chosen per click
- Type 301 or 302, valid per store view
- Check for redirect chains and loops before saving
301 redirect in Magento 2 via CSV import: load relaunch lists
For migrations and catalog cleanups you import Magento 2 404 redirects as a CSV with source, target, type and store view. Before anything is written you get a validation report listing duplicates, loops and unreachable targets. The SEO report sorts open 404s by hits so you fix the URLs that really lose visitors first. A cron job purges old entries after the configured retention period.
- CSV import with dry run and error list
- Export of existing redirects as a backup
- Retention period configurable, no IP addresses by default
What shop owners use Magento 2 404 redirects for
Three typical situations in which the log and the suggestions pay off quickly.
Relaunch and platform migration
After moving from another shop system or changing the URL structure, you see in the first days which old addresses still attract visitors and search engines and redirect the important ones deliberately.
Discontinued products and range maintenance
When items are no longer sold, the report shows which product pages are still requested. You set up Magento 2 404 redirects to a successor or the matching category instead of sending visitors into a dead end.
Multilingual shops with several store views
Each 404 URL is assigned to the store view in which it was requested. Redirects apply per store view, so German and English addresses stay cleanly separated.

How it works alongside other Mironsoft modules
The module does not replace the Mironsoft SEO Suite, which handles meta data, structured data and hreflang. They complement each other: the SEO Suite makes sure valid pages are marked up properly, the 404 Redirect Manager takes care of the addresses that no longer exist.
There is also no overlap with caching or security modules. Security filters block attacks, this module merely evaluates harmless failed requests and can hide scanner paths via the ignore list.
No download — personal setup instead
404 Redirect Manager is not listed here as a ready-made download file for self-installation. The purchase is a service commission: we get in touch with you after the purchase, install the module in your shop and set up ignore lists, retention period and the import of your existing Magento 2 404 redirects together with you.
