Tracking 404 errors

Tracking 404 Errors

Tracking 404 Errors helps you find broken storefront links, see how often visitors land on missing pages, and quickly redirect outdated URLs to relevant pages.

What it is for

The add-on helps prevent customer loss caused by broken links, outdated search results, removed products, or incorrect external URLs. It collects 404 hits in a dedicated list, shows the domain, storefront, and hit counter, and lets you turn a problematic URL into a working 301 or 302 redirect.

Key features

• Automatically records visits to missing storefront pages.
• Shows the source URL, storefront, domain, rule type, status, and hit counter.
• Lets administrators create and edit 301, 302, and 404 rules in the admin panel.
• Supports bulk editing, deletion, search, and sorting for redirect records.
• Adds redirect import and export through the standard CS-Cart ExIm tools.
• Supports multiple storefronts and helps keep rules separated by domain.

How it works

When a customer opens a missing page, the add-on saves that URL in the 404 log and increases the counter for repeated visits. The administrator reviews problematic URLs, specifies the target page, and selects the redirect type. After an active rule is saved, future visits to the old URL are automatically sent to the configured destination.

Rules match an exact URL and domain. Type 404 keeps a log entry; only active 301 and 302 rules with a destination redirect visitors. The counter records 404 hits, not all successful redirects.
