🔀.htaccess & Nginx Redirect Generator Documentation & Guide

Web & Developer
Generate production-ready URL redirection rules for Apache (.htaccess) and Nginx web servers. Supports 301 permanent SEO redirects, 302 temporary maintenance redirects, domain migrations, HTTP to HTTPS enforcement, and query string preservation.

📋How to Generate Server Redirect Rules

  1. Select Web Server: Choose between Apache (.htaccess) or Nginx (nginx.conf / sites-available) configuration syntax.
  2. Choose HTTP Status Code: Select 301 for permanent SEO link equity transfers, or 302/307 for temporary routing.
  3. Define URL Paths: Enter the source pattern (relative path or regex) and destination target URL.
  4. Generate & Deploy: Click 🔀 Generate Redirect Rule and paste the output into your server configuration.

⚙️Technical & SEO Redirection Details

URL redirection governs how search engine crawlers and browsers navigate changed URIs:

• Status Code 301 (Moved Permanently): Transfers 90% - 99% of accumulated PageRank to the target URL. In Apache, uses mod_rewrite RewriteRule flags [R=301,L,QSA]. In Nginx, executes high-performance return 301.
• Status Code 302 vs 307: 302 Found is temporary and historical clients may mutate POST to GET. 307 Temporary Redirect strictly preserves the original HTTP verb and request body.
• Query String Append (QSA): Preserves incoming query parameters (such as Google Analytics utm_source or campaign tracking) across redirects.

💡Practical Use Cases & Best Practices

  • SSL / HTTPS Migration: Force all plaintext HTTP port 80 traffic over encrypted HTTPS port 443 with zero hop chains.
  • Canonical Domain Routing: Redirect non-www traffic to www (or vice-versa) to prevent duplicate content penalties in Google Search.
  • Site Architecture Restructure: Redirect legacy permalinks (.html) to clean directory structures without breaking external backlinks.
100% Client-Side Privacy Guarantee:All redirect configurations are generated 100% locally in your browser memory. Zero URLs or server paths are ever transmitted across external networks.
