What is the Htaccess Redirect Generator?

.htaccess is the configuration file Apache and LiteSpeed servers read for each folder. This generator writes correct mod_rewrite rules for the most common SEO jobs: forcing HTTPS, choosing www or non-www, and permanently redirecting an old URL to a new one with a 301.

Why it matters for SEO

Every site should resolve to one canonical host and protocol; otherwise search engines see up to four copies of each page (http, https, www, non-www). And when URLs change, 301 redirects preserve the traffic and backlinks the old URL earned. Rewrite syntax is unforgiving, so generated rules prevent costly mistakes.

How to read your Htaccess Redirect Generator results

Add the generated rules near the top of the .htaccess file in your site root, after RewriteEngine On, and before any CMS rules such as WordPress’s block. Keep a backup of the original file. Then test the old URLs with the Redirect Checker to confirm a single 301 hop.

Expert tips

  • Back up .htaccess before every edit — one typo can take the site down.
  • Combine HTTPS and www rules into one hop where possible.
  • Use 301 for permanent moves; avoid redirecting everything to the home page.
  • Nginx does not read .htaccess — use server blocks there.

Limitations

Output is built only from the values you enter. The tool cannot see your existing site setup, so review the result before you add it to a live site.
