About DenArt – SEO Wipe (HTTP 410 Gone)
From the official readme · v1.0.1Description
DenArt – SEO Wipe (HTTP 410 Gone) automatically returns a correct HTTP 410 (Gone) status
code when posts or pages are deleted. This tells search engines the content is
permanently gone – not temporarily missing – so they remove it from their index
faster and stop wasting crawl budget on dead URLs.
Why 410 matters for SEO
- Eliminates soft-404 ambiguity (WordPress default: 404 for all missing content)
- Signals permanent removal to Googlebot, Bingbot, and other crawlers
- Reduces crawl budget waste on URLs that will never return
- Prevents deleted content polluting your search index
- Reduces CDN log noise and unnecessary bandwidth from bot traffic
Free features (no account required)
- Automatic 410 Gone responses for deleted posts and pages
- Manual Gone URL management – add, edit, import, and delete gone entries
- Post-type selector – choose which content types trigger 410 detection
- Configurable URL exclusions – keep specific paths returning 404 instead
- Optional custom 410 page title and message

(one-way HMAC hash), WordPress version, plugin version. -
License validation – once per 24 hours when a license key is active.
Sends: SHA-256 hash of your license key, anonymised installation ID,
WordPress version, plugin version. No email addresses or personal data. -
Telemetry – every 7 or 30 days depending on your chosen frequency, only with explicit opt-in consent.
Sends: site URL and site name, PHP version, PHP SAPI, server OS, memory limit, max execution time,
upload max filesize, loaded PHP extensions (presence only), WordPress version,
plugin version, locale, multisite status, active plugin slugs (e.g. woocommerce/woocommerce.php),

all tables and options are permanently deleted on deactivation. Uninstalling
the plugin (Plugins → Delete) always erases all data regardless of this setting.

Frequently asked questions
Does this affect my live site immediately?
Yes. Once enabled, any request to a URL that belongs to a deleted post returns HTTP 410 immediately. Existing published content is never affected.
What is the Headers-Only 410 Mode?
This Pro feature sends the 410 HTTP status and SEO headers, then lets your WordPress theme render the page body. Create a 410.php template in your theme for a fully branded Gone page. Use is_410() in templates to detect the state.
What does Smart Slug Redirects do?
When you rename a post, the old URL becomes a 404. Pro automatically creates a 301 redirect from the old slug to the new slug, preserving SEO link equity. You can view, edit, and delete all stored redirects from the admin panel.
Does the plugin store visitor IP addresses?
No. The activity log stores only: URL path, timestamp, humanized bot/browser name, and referer domain. No IP addresses are ever written to any table.
Is my license key stored securely?
Yes. Encrypted with AES-256-GCM using a key derived from your WordPress secret keys. During license validation, only a hash of your key is transmitted. The full key is sent once during initial connection over TLS and stored encrypted on your site.
What PHP extensions does the plugin require?
OpenSSL, JSON, and Multibyte String. If any are missing, the plugin displays an admin notice and halts without registering any hooks.
