IIS Redirect

The infamous web server error 404 is, needless to say, definitely a deal-breaker as far as the quality of the user experience is concerned.

In case your website has been subjected to various changes that have made the frequency of this kind of issues increase, perhaps it is time you turned to a software solution such as IIS Redirect, which can automatically redirect affected URLs to your homepage.

But let’s start with a few words on the causes leading to this scenario. Said error 404 appears whenever the user tries to access a page that is no longer available, and it usually has something to do either with an incorrect link or content that was removed from the webpage. If, on the other hand, the user is redirected to another, valid page, the chances are they would not leave your website as quickly as in the previous situation.

Comprising two main components, the PC application itself and the server-side ISAPI D11, IIS-Redirect allows you not only to analyze but also control the server response. You need to start by taking care of the server installation and ensuring the connection to the web server is not faulty. You can then enter your web server homepage and specify the file transfer method of choice, with HTTP and FTP being your options.

Regarding the program’s user interface, it need be said that it enables you to easily open, create, or save a project while also letting you make modifications to the current Publisher. At this point, you should be able to view the list of current redirects, with the error having no longer an impact.

It should also be said that redirecting a page affected by error 404 to a URL other than the previously selected homepage is an option, and for that, you need to explore the web server files and make necessary modifications manually.

Coming to solve a major annoyance, IIS Redirect helps you minimize the effects of error 404 by automatically redirecting problematic pages to a functional homepage. The application should not be difficult to figure out, and in case any issues are encountered, a well put-together user manual is there to help you.
