Overview

The Detour Pro Dashboard provides a visual analytics interface for monitoring 404 errors, redirect usage, and identifying URLs that need redirects. It helps you spot patterns in user behavior and quickly add detours for the most-frequently requested missing pages.

Time Range Controls

At the top of the dashboard, four toggle buttons let you switch between different time ranges:

• Day: Shows today's data with granular per-day 404 and 301 trends.
• 7 Days: Last week's aggregated view.
• Month: Last 30 days of data.
• Year: Last 12 months of data.

Your selected range is remembered for the next time you visit the dashboard.

Charts & Analytics

404s Trend

This line chart displays the number of 404 (page not found) errors over the chosen time period.

Use this to identify spikes or patterns in broken links and missing pages.

404 tracking requires the use of the Detour Pro Not Found tag.

301s Trend

When Hit Tracking is enabled, a second line chart shows successful 301 redirect hits by day.

Redirected vs 404 Comparison

This bar chart compares the number of requests that were successfully redirected (301) versus those that returned a 404.

Top 10 301 Hits

When Hit Tracking is enabled, this bar chart shows the ten most frequently hit redirects for the selected time period. Useful for verifying that your high-traffic redirects are working as expected.

Top 10 Needed Redirects

This bar chart highlights the ten URLs with the most 404 hits that do not yet have a redirect for the selected time period. These are your highest-priority candidates for new detours.

Needed Redirects Table

Below the Top 10 Needed Redirects chart, a table lists the Top 10 Needed Redirect URLs in the past 30 days with:

• URL: The path that is returning 404s.
• Hits: How many times it was requested in the last 30 days.
• Detour: An "Add Detour" link for each row.

Click Add Detour to open the add-detour form with the source URL pre-filled. This makes it quick to create a redirect for the most impactful 404s without leaving the dashboard.

Configuration

To see the full set of analytics—including the 301s Trend, Redirected vs 404 Comparison, and Top 10 301 Hits charts—you must enable Hit Tracking in the Detour Pro settings. If it is disabled, those charts are replaced with a card that explains the feature and includes a button to enable it.
