Read the full story https://wordpress.org/plugins/redirection/

Redirection is a WordPress plugin to manage 301 redirections, keep track of 404 errors, and generally tidy up any loose ends your site may have.
This is particularly useful if you are migrating pages from an old website, or are changing the directory of your WordPress installation.

And it’s 100% free!

New features include:

404 error monitoring – captures a log of 404 errors and allows you to easily map these to 301 redirects
Custom ‘pass-through’ redirections allowing you to pass a URL through to another page, file, or website.
Full logs for all redirected URLs
All URLs can be redirected, not just ones that don’t exist
Redirection methods – redirect based upon login status, redirect to random pages, redirect based upon the referrer!

Existing features include:

Automatically add a 301 redirection when a post’s URL changes
Manually add 301, 302, and 307 redirections for a WordPress post, or for any other file
Full regular expression support
Apache .htaccess is not required – works entirely inside WordPress
Redirect index.php, index.html, and index.htm access
Redirection statistics telling you how many times a redirection has occurred, when it last happened, who tried to do it, and where they found your URL
Fully localized

The plugin is simple to install:

Download redirection.zip
Unzip
Upload redirection directory to your /wp-content/plugins directory
Go to the plugin management page and enable the plugin
Configure the options from the Manage/Redirection page

You can find full details of installing a plugin on the plugin installation page.

Full documentation can be found on the Redirection page.

Why would I want to use this instead of .htaccess?

Ease of use. Redirections are automatically created when a post URL changes, and it is a lot easier to manually add redirections than to hack around a .htaccess. You also get the added benefit of being able to keep track of 404 errors.

What is the performance of this plugin?

The plugin works in a similar manner to how WordPress handles permalinks and should not result in any noticeable slowdown to your site.
