Redirectify
Redirectify emerges as a pivotal tool for Shopify store owners, meticulously designed to enhance both the managerial aspects of running a store and the shopping experience of the customers. Crafted by Kelsey Judson, this app, since its inception in August 2015, has been a beacon for retailers seeking to optimize their e-commerce platforms. Central to its offering is the innovative approach to managing 301 redirects, ensuring that navigation within a store remains fluid, relevant, and engaging for the customer.
The cornerstone of Redirectify’s functionality lies in its live 404 tracking system. This feature allows store owners to catch and rectify 404 errors as they occur, preventing any disruption in the customer’s browsing experience. The app excels in automating the workflow through rule-based automation, significantly reducing manual intervention and thereby streamlining store operations.
One of the most notable features is the app’s ability to provide live path suggestions. As store owners type, Redirectify intelligently suggests relevant redirect targets, ensuring that the redirects maintain the integrity of the customer’s shopping journey. This feature, coupled with the ability to fix 404s in bulk by uploading a CSV file, underscores the app’s commitment to efficiency and relevance.
Redirectify’s integration with Google Search Console amplifies its utility, enabling a smooth transition for stores migrating from other e-commerce platforms to Shopify. This integration ensures that the redirects are not only relevant but also SEO-friendly, enhancing the store’s visibility and searchability.
User testimonials and reviews echo the app’s effectiveness, highlighting its user-friendly interface and the significant time savings it affords. Store owners have praised Redirectify for its proactive approach to managing redirects, particularly in scenarios involving deleted products or extensive catalog updates.
