404 Simple Redirect Plugin

This plugin hooks the normal WordPress workflow in order to determine if the request is processing will cause a 404 HTTP error. In that case it prevents WordPress to do any other processing and sends the user to the page defined in the plugin options.

A working and simple solution.

Scenario
Sites with high volume of content may have some moved, deleted or badly referenced content. This situation will cause a 404 http error.

Problem
In high performance sites the previously described situation can be a resource problem. It is not necessary that we load completely the site to show a 404 error page.

Solution
Loading a plain HTML page will result easier for our web server than loading a complete CMS instance.
