An .htaccess file (hypertext access) is an Apache web server configuration file that lives in your website's root directory and controls how the server handles incoming requests. It can redirect URLs, enforce HTTPS, block IP addresses, set custom error pages, manage WWW preferences, and much more. Because .htaccess changes take effect immediately without restarting the server, it is one of the most powerful and commonly used tools in website management and SEO configuration.
A 301 redirect is a permanent redirect that tells search engines the old URL has moved to a new location forever — passing full link equity and ranking signals to the new URL. It is Google's recommended redirect type for SEO migrations, domain changes, and deleted pages. A 302 redirect is a temporary redirect that tells search engines the page has moved only briefly — preserving the original URL's rankings and not transferring link equity to the destination. The .htaccess Redirect Builder supports both types for every redirect rule you configure.
One-click toggle to generate an Apache rule that automatically redirects all HTTP traffic to HTTPS — essential for security and Google's HTTPS ranking signal.
Choose to force WWW or remove WWW from all URLs — preventing duplicate content issues by canonicalizing your domain to a single consistent format.
Add individual page redirects with old relative path, new absolute URL, and redirect type — supporting multiple simultaneous redirect rules in one file.
Select between 301 permanent and 302 temporary redirects for each rule — with a clear recommendation to use 301 for SEO migrations and link equity preservation.
Add as many specific URL redirect rules as needed with one click per row — each independently configured with its own old path, new URL, and redirect type.
