Generate .htaccess redirect rules

Setting up redirects in an Apache .htaccess file means getting the syntax exactly right, and a mistake breaks the site. This generator produces 301 and 302 redirect rules for .htaccess, so you get correct redirect directives to paste in.

Why 301 versus 302 matters

A 301 is a permanent redirect that tells search engines to move ranking to the new URL; a 302 is temporary and keeps the old one indexed. Choosing the right one matters for SEO, and using 302 for a permanent move is a common, costly mistake. The .htaccess syntax for redirects is unforgiving, and a malformed rule can cause a redirect loop or a broken site. Generating the correct directive for your source and target, with the right status code, avoids both the SEO error and the syntax error.

Correct redirects, safely

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between 301 and 302?

A 301 is permanent and moves ranking to the new URL; a 302 is temporary and keeps the old URL indexed. Using 302 for a permanent move strands ranking.

Why generate the rules?

Because .htaccess syntax is unforgiving, and a malformed redirect can cause a loop or break the site. Generating gives correct directives to paste in.

Which should I use for a moved page?

A 301, so search engines transfer ranking to the new location. Reserve 302 for genuinely temporary redirects.

Can a bad rule break my site?

Yes. A malformed redirect can loop or misdirect traffic, which is why generating a correct rule matters.

Is my input uploaded?

No. The generator runs entirely in your browser.
