Yes. Test an address, at the top of the Redirects → Redirects screen, shows what the Redirects plugin would do with any address, without sending anybody anywhere.
Paste the address, or the whole link out of an email, and it reports:
- which redirect catches it, and where that sends people;
- when nothing catches it, why not, such as a redirect that is switched off;
- the address as it was measured, so you can see that capital letters, a trailing slash or a campaign tag made no difference;
- whether the destination is itself redirected, which works but costs the visitor a second trip.
Nothing is changed and nobody is redirected. Checking in your own browser proves much less, because a browser remembers a permanent redirect and keeps following it after you delete the rule. Looking after several sites, wp trrd test <address> gives the same answer from the command line.
