What this tool does

301 redirects preserve SEO value during URL changes, HTTPS migrations, and www canonicalization.

Generate Apache .htaccess or nginx snippets — paste into server config manually.

How to use it

  1. 1

    Select redirect type: 301, HTTPS force, or www/non-www.

  2. 2

    Enter source and destination URLs or patterns.

  3. 3

    Copy the generated .htaccess or nginx config snippet.

Redirect priorities

HTTPS and www/non-www should redirect in one hop — avoid redirect chains.

Test redirects with curl or browser dev tools after deployment.

Tips

  • Backup existing .htaccess before overwriting.
  • Map old URLs in a spreadsheet before generating bulk redirect rules.

Frequently asked questions

Should I use 301 or 302 redirects?▼

Use 301 for permanent moves (domain changes, URL restructures) — it passes most SEO value.

Does this modify my server?▼

No. This generates config text — you paste it into your server config manually.
