## 描述

PathCatch is the URL-health layer for WordPress. It is not an SEO suite — it keeps

your links, redirects, and crawl paths clean, and rolls everything into a single
URL Health Score so you can see at a glance what needs fixing.

**Redirects**

 * Create and manage 301, 302, 307, and 308 redirects with exact, wildcard, and
   
   regex matching.
 * Configurable matching: trailing-slash and case normalization, query-string
    handling,
   and rule precedence.
 * Auto-create a 301 when a published post’s slug changes, so old URLs never 404.
 * “Redirect intelligence” flags redirect chains and loops, and — as a background
   
   check — redirects whose destination now returns a 404 or a server error, with
   one-click “flatten chain”.
 * Import from CSV and `.htaccess`; export to CSV, Apache, or Nginx (as text you
   
   install yourself — PathCatch never writes to your server config).

**404 monitoring**

 * Log WordPress-routed 404s with hit counts, referrers, and bot filtering.
 * Turn any logged 404 into a redirect in one click.
 * Retention control keeps the log from growing without bound.

**Broken-link & sitemap scanning**

 * Scan posts and pages for broken links and images, on demand or on a schedule,
   
   with an optional email digest.
 * Detect and validate your existing sitemap (WordPress core, Yoast, Rank Math,
   
   AIOSEO) for unreachable or error URLs — PathCatch complements those plugins and
   does not generate a competing sitemap.

**Built to be safe**

 * Safe by default and reversible: nothing changes your content or server config
   
   without you choosing to.
 * Hardened: redirect targets are validated against open-redirect abuse, outbound
   
   link checks are guarded against SSRF, and all admin actions are capability- and
   nonce-protected.

#### External services

PathCatch’s link and sitemap scanners make outbound HTTP requests **from your
 server

to check whether URLs found in your content and sitemap are reachable.
 For internal
links these hit your own site; for external links they contact the third-party sites
you link to (just like a visitor’s browser would). No data about your site is sent
to any PathCatch-operated service — the plugin has no external service of its own
and does not “phone home”.

## 安装

 1. Upload the `pathcatch` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`, or install it from Plugins
    Add New in your dashboard.
 2. Activate the plugin through the Plugins screen.
 3. Open the **PathCatch** menu in your admin. Redirects and 404 Watch are on by default;
    enable the Link Scanner and Sitemap Health under PathCatch  Settings.

## 常见问题

### Does this replace my SEO plugin (Yoast, Rank Math, AIOSEO)?

No. PathCatch is the operational URL-health layer beneath them. It manages
 redirects
and 404s and _validates_ your existing sitemap rather than generating one, so it
works alongside your SEO plugin instead of competing with it.

### Will the redirects slow down my site?

No. Redirect rules are cached, and a request that doesn’t match a rule performs 
no
 extra database query beyond the ones WordPress already runs.

### Does the scanner send my data anywhere?

No. Scans run on your own server and only request the URLs found in your content

and sitemap to see if they resolve. There is no external PathCatch service.

### Is it multisite compatible?

Yes. On a network activation the plugin creates its tables for every site, and new

sites are provisioned automatically.

## 更新日志

#### 1.0.0

 * First stable release.
 * Fix: exact-match redirect rules whose source contains a query string (e.g.
    “/?
   p=51”) now match only that query, instead of matching every request to the same
   path.

#### 0.2.0

 * New: background redirect destination-health monitoring (detects redirects that
   
   now land on a 404 or server error) with one-click chain flattening.
 * New: Link Scanner — scan posts and pages for broken links and images, on demand
   
   or on a schedule, with an optional email digest.
 * New: Sitemap Health — detect and validate your existing sitemap for unreachable
   
   or error URLs.
 * New: multisite-safe activation, upgrade, and uninstall.
 * Hardening and reliability: SSRF-guarded outbound checks (incl. IPv4-mapped IPv6),
   
   open-redirect validation, a robust background-job queue, and 404-log retention.

#### 0.1.0

 * Initial release: Redirect Center, 404 Watch, redirect chain/loop detection,
    
   auto-redirect on slug change, CSV/.htaccess import, server-rule export, and the
   URL Health Score.
