Redirect Supply vs WordPress redirect plugins: Your redirects, after WordPress
Plugins like Redirection handle redirects well inside WordPress, with regex, conditions, and 404 logs. But they run inside your WordPress install, on your hosting, with WordPress and PHP kept up to date. Move your site to Framer or Webflow, and those redirects go with it. Redirect Supply runs independently of any website, so every old URL keeps landing on its new page, with automatic HTTPS and nothing to maintain.

Choose Redirect Supply for redirects that stay out of your way. Every old URL lands on the right page, every domain runs on HTTPS, and nothing breaks when your website moves.
WordPress plugin or Redirect Supply? The short answer
Keep a WordPress redirect plugin if your site stays on WordPress and you want regex rules, conditions, and 404 logs inside your admin.
Switch to Redirect Supply if you're moving to Framer, Webflow, or another platform, or need old and extra domains redirected without a WordPress site behind them. Export your plugin's redirects, import them, and cancel the old hosting.
For leaving WordPress without losing a single link, that makes it a Redirect Supply job.
FAQs
Questions about WordPress redirect plugins and Redirect Supply
Do I need Redirect Supply if I already use the Redirection plugin?
Not while your site stays on WordPress: Redirection is a strong plugin for that. Redirect Supply becomes the better fit when you move off WordPress, or when you need domains redirected that have no WordPress site behind them.
What happens to my plugin redirects when I move from WordPress to Framer or Webflow?
Plugin redirects run inside WordPress, so they stop working once the WordPress site is gone. Connect your old domain to Redirect Supply, or keep the same domain and recreate the rules on the new platform. The renaming your website checklist covers the order of steps.
Can I export redirects from the Redirection plugin?
Yes. Redirection exports to CSV, JSON, .htaccess, and Nginx formats. Export a CSV, match the columns to Redirect Supply's import format, and import the file.
Do WordPress redirect plugins slow down my site?
Redirection says it works much like WordPress permalinks and shouldn't cause a noticeable slowdown. With Redirect Supply, redirects on your old domain are answered before any website loads, so your new site does no extra work at all.
Can I redirect a domain that has no WordPress site?
Not with a plugin, since it needs a WordPress install to run. Redirect Supply only needs the domain's DNS records, so parked, old, and campaign domains can redirect with no website behind them.
How do I keep old WordPress blog URLs working after a move?
Export your post URLs, decide where each one should go on the new site, and import the list into Redirect Supply. Whole sections, like /category/news/*, can move with a single wildcard rule, and a global fallback catches anything you missed.
