Redirection Pro stores its data in custom tables that map closely to the free Redirection plugin: wp_redirection_items for redirect rules, wp_redirection_groups for groups, wp_redirection_logs for the hit log, and wp_redirection_404 for unmatched 404 entries. The Pro layer adds extra fields on those tables for advanced match types and analytics.

The default admin gives a separate screen for redirects, 404 logs, groups, and logs. Connecting a 404 spike to a missing redirect, or finding redirects with zero hits across a 5,000-rule set, becomes a multi-screen click marathon. There is no single sortable surface that joins rules with their hit counts and the 404s that probably need rules.

SleekView reads from all four Redirection Pro tables directly. Redirects with hit counts and 404 paths sit side by side. Inline edits route through the plugin's standard CRUD layer so the redirect engine, the URL match cache, and the hit log all stay consistent.

Redirection Pro is excellent at logging 404s and managing redirects, but the multiple admin screens were not designed to be used together during a migration. During a quiet week that is fine. After a launch, during a domain switch, or when a section retires, the screen-hopping becomes the bottleneck.

An SEO specialist looking at fifty top 404s has to copy each path, switch to the redirects screen, paste, find the right destination, save, switch back, refresh, and start again. Multiply by fifty 404s and the work takes a full afternoon. SleekView collapses that workflow into one grid where 404s and redirects sit next to each other.

Promote a 404 inline, sort by hits to triage what matters first, filter for inactive rules with recent traffic to find rules that broke. The data already exists in the plugin's tables. The grid just makes it usable at the scale migrations and launches require.
