Fixing 301 errors “missing trailing slash”

[ad_1]

I’m fairly new to WordPress. I wanted to check my website for broken links, so I ran my url through the W3C link checker and several of the errors came back like this:

redirected to

Status: 301 -> 200 OK
The link is missing a trailing slash, and caused a redirect. Adding the trailing slash would speed up browsing.

Where do I need to go to fix this?

One suggestion said to change the Permalink structure from

Post name

To this

Custom Structure
/%postname%/

But I don’t know if that ‘s the correct answer, or if changing a permalink structure will screw up more stuff.

I’m not sure how to fix this. I have recently installed the Redirection plugin, but I’m not sure if I should/can use the plugin to fix this?

Suggestions?
