Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a 301 and 302 redirect? +
A 301 is a permanent redirect, telling search engines to update their index. A 302 is temporary, meaning the original URL should still be indexed. Use 301 for permanent URL changes.
Will these rules work on Nginx servers? +
No. The .htaccess file is specific to Apache web servers. Nginx uses its own configuration syntax in server block files.
Can I combine multiple rule types in one .htaccess file? +
Yes. Enable multiple sections in the generator and all rules will be combined into a single output. Order matters for rewrite rules, so the generator places them in the correct sequence.
How do I test if my .htaccess rules are working? +
Upload the file to your server root and test by visiting the affected URLs. Check your browser's developer tools Network tab to verify redirect status codes and headers.
