  Is there any way to redirect broken links from external websites that I cannot control the links of.

  Hi there

  What exactly do you mean by that? What links are you trying to redirect?

  Do you mean someone else linking to your website? If the link the other person is using is broken then you would need to contact the other website owner and inform them of the broken links.

  It is an external link and there is no response so normally the pro method is a 301 redirect. With the .com hosted at wp there is no access to plugins for free or htaccess as an example.

  I guess this is my answer-> No it’s not possible for free.

  Ah yes, that is correct, you would need a paid Business or eCommerce plan for something like that.
