It is bad practice to redirect all 404s to your homepage. The 404 error code exists for a reason: to tell bots and people that the page doesn’t exist. If the page was changed to a new url, you should do a 301 or 302 redirect, but if the page never existed in the first place, then 404 is correct. If the page previously existed but was deleted, then 410. If you redirect all 404s to your homepage, this will confuse bots and visitors and lower your page rank on search engines because they will detect that your site is not set up properly. Be honest about what you are doing; if a page does not exist, tell the user that.

Easy to set up, lightweight, and does exactly what it promises. Highly recommended for WordPress users dealing with lost links or migration issues!
And it keeps asking me to buy premium…
More than 2 years and support does not add option to clear 404 URL log?

Nothing to do other than restart the objet cache 4 everyone extension as suggested. Now all my 404 are automatically redirected.
Good 🙂
