What is the Htaccess Redirect Generator Tool and When Should You Use It?
This tool is designed to support critical website operations such as URL structure changes, site migrations, and the configuration of your website’s canonical URL versions—those that should be indexed and ranked by search engines. Its main goal is to prevent traffic and ranking loss from outdated or non-canonical URLs by implementing 301 permanent redirects to the new or canonical URLs for both users and search engine crawlers. The Htaccess Redirect Generator simplifies the implementation of the most common redirect scenarios for websites hosted on Apache Web Servers, by automatically generating the necessary rewrite rules. You can copy and paste this code directly into your .htaccess file to activate the redirects.
Before You Apply Any Changes:
Always make a backup of your existing .htaccess file before making any modifications. Once you implement the changes, be sure to test the affected URLs to confirm that they are correctly redirecting with a 301 HTTP status code to the intended destinations.
How to Use the Tool:
Select the redirect scenario that matches your needs, input the required data, and instantly receive a customized redirect code. The code is ready to copy and paste into your .htaccess file.
