About

The HTACCESS Redirect Generator helps you create .htaccess redirect rules easily, which are essential for managing and redirecting website traffic. Redirects are used to forward users and search engines from one URL to another, either permanently or temporarily.

How to Use the HTACCESS Redirect Generator

  1. Access the Tool: Open the HTACCESS Redirect Generator.
  2. Specify Redirect Type:
    • 301 Redirect (Permanent): Use this to permanently redirect one URL to another. Search engines will transfer the ranking of the original URL to the new one.
    • 302 Redirect (Temporary): Use this for temporary redirection where you intend to revert back to the original URL later.
  3. Enter URLs:
    • Old URL: The URL you want to redirect.
    • New URL: The destination URL where users will be redirected.
  4. Generate Redirect Rule: Click the "Generate" button to create the .htaccess redirect code.
  5. Implement: Copy the generated code and paste it into your website’s .htaccess file.

Why Use HTACCESS Redirects?

  • Preserve SEO Rankings: Redirecting old URLs to new ones ensures that you don’t lose your SEO ranking when URLs change.
  • Fix Broken Links: Redirect outdated or broken links to relevant pages to improve user experience.
  • Manage URL Changes: When restructuring your website, use redirects to guide users and bots to the updated URLs.
