A 410 Gone response indicates that the requested resource has been intentionally and permanently removed. Unlike a 404 Not Found, it explicitly tells search engines that the content will never return, helping with faster index cleanup. ### Can I use regular expressions? Yes! Enable the “Use as Regular Expression” option when adding URL patterns. This allows for flexible pattern matching like: * `^/old-products/.*` – Match all URLs starting with /old-products/ * `/discontinued-\d+` – Match URLs containing ‘discontinued-‘ followed by numbers ### How do I bulk import URLs? 1. Prepare a CSV file with two columns: URL pattern and is_regex (0 or 1) 2. Use the CSV Upload tab in the admin interface 3. Select your file and click Upload 4. The plugin will validate and import valid patterns ### Is it cache-friendly? Yes, the plugin implements WordPress caching for optimal performance. URL patterns are cached and only refreshed when necessary. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “410 Response Manager” is open source software.
