GoNow IA Broken URL Resolver

GoNow IA Broken URL Resolver solves one of the most common SEO headaches for WooCommerce store owners: broken URLs from old domains, redesigns, or product changes that now return 404 errors and hurt your Google rankings.

The plugin automatically logs every 404 error real visitors hit, then uses AI to analyze the broken URL and find the closest matching product in your current WooCommerce catalog — by name, SKU, category, and description.

⚠️ Important: AI matching requires WordPress 7.0+ and an AI provider connected under Settings > Connectors

This plugin does not bundle or require its own AI API key. Instead, it uses the native WordPress AI Client, introduced in WordPress 7.0, to send prompts through whichever AI provider you (or your site) already have connected under Settings > Connectors (Anthropic, OpenAI, or Google). This means:

• You configure your AI provider once, at the site level, and every compatible plugin can use it
• This plugin never stores or handles your AI provider’s API key
• Provider usage is billed by that provider directly, separate from this plugin
• Without WordPress 7.0+ and a connected provider, the plugin still logs 404s and lets you apply redirects manually — it just can’t suggest AI matches

Key Features

• 🔍 Automatic 404 detection — logs every broken URL real visitors hit
• 🧹 Bot & attack filtering — ignores .php probes, exploit scanners, and crawler noise
• 🤖 AI-powered matching — analyzes slug, SKU, category and product name to find the best match, via the WordPress AI Client
• ⚡ Manual or automatic redirects — apply 301s with one click, or let the plugin auto-apply above a confidence threshold
• ⏳ Approval workflow — in auto mode, high-confidence suggestions go to an approval queue before being applied
• 📤 Export to Redirection plugin — export all resolved redirects as JSON for the popular Redirection plugin
• 🌍 Bilingual — full Spanish and English interface

How it works

1. A visitor hits a broken URL (404)
2. The plugin logs it, filtering out bots and irrelevant probes
3. After a configurable number of hits, the plugin asks your connected AI provider (via the WordPress AI Client) to analyze the URL
4. The AI compares it against your full WooCommerce product catalog
5. The best match is suggested with a confidence percentage
6. You approve it with one click (or it applies automatically if confidence is high enough)
7. Google stops seeing 404s and passes link equity to the correct product

Perfect for

• Stores that migrated from another domain or platform
• Shops after a WooCommerce redesign that changed URL structures
• Any site with old backlinks pointing to discontinued product URLs

External Services

This plugin connects to the following external services:

AI Provider (via the WordPress AI Client)

What it is: This plugin sends prompts through the native WordPress AI Client (wp_ai_client_prompt()), introduced in WordPress 7.0, which routes them to whichever AI provider you’ve connected under Settings > Connectors (currently Anthropic, OpenAI, or Google are supported by WordPress core). This plugin does not choose or contact a provider directly.

What data is sent: The broken URL path and a compact list of your store’s WooCommerce products (product name, SKU, category, URL slug, and short description). No visitor personal data such as IP addresses, email addresses, or names is ever sent.

When it is sent: Only when you click “Run AI” manually in the admin dashboard, or automatically via WP-Cron after a broken URL has been hit at least as many times as your configured threshold.

Service provider: Depends on the provider you connect under Settings > Connectors. For Anthropic: Terms https://www.anthropic.com/legal/aup — Privacy https://www.anthropic.com/legal/privacy. For OpenAI and Google, see their respective terms and privacy pages linked from the Connectors screen.

GoNow License Server

What it is: The GoNow license management server at gonow.social, used to activate, deactivate, and periodically verify your plugin license key.

What data is sent: Your license key and your site’s home URL. No visitor or customer data is ever sent.

When it is sent: * When you click “Activate” to activate your license key * When you click “Deactivate” to deactivate your license key * Once per week automatically via WP-Cron to verify the license is still valid

Service provider: GoNow (gonow.social). Terms of Service: https://gonow.social/redirector/terms.php Privacy Policy: https://gonow.social/redirector/privacy.php
