This tells search engines the content is permanently gone – not temporarily missing – so they remove it from their index faster and stop wasting crawl budget on dead URLs. **Why 410 matters for SEO** * Eliminates soft-404 ambiguity (WordPress default: 404 for all missing content) * Signals permanent removal to Googlebot, Bingbot, and other crawlers * Reduces crawl budget waste on URLs that will never return * Prevents deleted content polluting your search index * Reduces CDN log noise and unnecessary bandwidth from bot traffic **Free features (no account required)** * Automatic 410 Gone responses for deleted posts and pages * Manual Gone URL management – add, edit, import, and delete gone entries * Post-type selector – choose which content types trigger 410 detection * Configurable URL exclusions – keep specific paths returning 404 instead * Optional custom 410 page title and message **Pro features (requires active license)** Feature Description Activity Log Every 410 hit logged with path, status code, timestamp, browser/bot type, and referrer domain Bot Analytics 24-hour bot breakdown by name with donut chart; 14-day bot vs human traffic chart URL Pattern Rules Force-410 or allow specific URL patterns – exact, prefix, wildcard, or full regex Smart Lookup Mode Zero false positives; only URLs in the Gone table return 410 Smart Slug Redirects Automatic 301 redirects when you rename a post slug, preserving SEO equity Headers-Only 410 Mode Send 410 status and X-Robots-Tag headers while your theme renders the page body Email Reports HTML-formatted activity reports with top paths, sent daily, weekly, or monthly CSV Export Export activity log or gone URL list to CSV Custom 410 HTML Replace the default 410 page with fully custom HTML Pro features activate automatically after connecting your site and entering a valid license key. Purchasing a license is done at [wp-shop.denart-designs.com](https://wp-shop.denart-designs.com).

Unsubscribe at any time from Settings. Data retention on deactivation: By default, deactivating the plugin keeps all data intact so it is available when you re-enable the plugin. If you enable the “Remove Data on Deactivation” option in Settings Data & Privacy, all tables and options are permanently deleted on deactivation. Uninstalling the plugin (Plugins Delete) always erases all data regardless of this setting. No data is ever sold or shared with third parties.

Activate through the Plugins screen 3. Go to **DenArt – SEO Wipe (HTTP 410 Gone) Settings** and enable detection 4. Optionally connect your site via **License** for automatic renewal ## FAQ ### Does this affect my live site immediately? Yes. Once enabled, any request to a URL that belongs to a deleted post returns HTTP 410 immediately. Existing published content is never affected. ### What is the Headers-Only 410 Mode? This Pro feature sends the 410 HTTP status and SEO headers, then lets your WordPress theme render the page body. Create a 410.php template in your theme for a fully branded Gone page. Use is_410() in templates to detect the state. ### What does Smart Slug Redirects do? When you rename a post, the old URL becomes a 404. Pro automatically creates a 301 redirect from the old slug to the new slug, preserving SEO link equity. You can view, edit, and delete all stored redirects from the admin panel. ### Does the plugin store visitor IP addresses? No. The activity log stores only: URL path, timestamp, humanized bot/browser name, and referer domain. No IP addresses are ever written to any table. ### Is my license key stored securely? Yes. Encrypted with AES-256-GCM using a key derived from your WordPress secret keys. During license validation, only a hash of your key is transmitted. The full key is sent once during initial connection over TLS and stored encrypted on your site. ### What PHP extensions does the plugin require? OpenSSL, JSON, and Multibyte String. If any are missing, the plugin displays an admin notice and halts without registering any hooks. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “DenArt – SEO Wipe (HTTP 410 Gone)” is open source software.
