 * Great plugin!
 * I’ve inherited a website with 854 redirects put in place through this plugin.
   Some have ended up creating multiple redirects on top of one another. They have
   also attempted to restructure the sitemap leading to a lot of these redirect 
   rules leading to 404s.
 * I am looking for a way to programmatically check these 854 redirection rules 
   and determine which are actually useful and which are producing errors now.
 * The “Check Redirection” tool is very handy. Is there a way to do this in bulk
   and get a result list (200 vs. 404) so I can whittle down which redirect rules
   are now bad? Something similar to the 404 log that’s generated but doesn’t rely
   on a history of visitors.
 * Many thanks!

 * No, there’s no way to do that in the plugin. If you can do it yourself you can
   use the URL checking API [https://redirect.li/api/http/#get-http-headers](https://redirect.li/api/http/#get-http-headers)

 * Understood. I see they have a limit on requests regarding this which makes sense,
   so I will be careful about throttling those requests.
 * Appreciate your help!
