SEO URL & Redirect Guard
Protect old product links whenever an OpenCart SEO URL changes. Redirect Guard automatically creates permanent 301 redirects and gives you a clear admin area for managing and tracking them.
Keep Visitors and Search Engines on the Right Page
Changing a product SEO URL can leave old links pointing to a missing page. Redirect Guard records the change and sends the old address to the new product URL using a permanent 301 redirect.
Automatic Redirects
Creates a redirect automatically when a product SEO keyword is changed in the normal OpenCart product editor.
Manual Redirect Manager
Add redirects manually for older links, moved products or URLs that were changed before the extension was installed.
Permanent Redirects
Uses proper HTTP 301 redirects to send visitors and search engines from the old address to the new destination.
Hit Tracking
See how many times each redirect has been used and when it was last triggered.
Simple Controls
Enable, disable or delete redirect records directly from the OpenCart administration area.
Built for OpenCart
Runs inside OpenCart with a dedicated admin page and does not replace core OpenCart files.
Safer Product URL Changes
- Protect old product links after an SEO URL change

- Preserve customer bookmarks and shared links
- Help search engines find the replacement URL
