Redirect rules

Describe the redirects a site needs and get the .htaccess or nginx configuration, then check the live site against what the rules should do.

Site

What every request should end up as.

Domain

Move the whole site to

Sends every page to the same path on the new domain. Use after a rebrand or merger.

Force HTTPSSend http:// visitors to https://.

www

Trailing slash

Redirect type

Use 301 for anything that will not change back. Browsers cache a 301, so test with a 302 first if unsure.

Moved pages

Old path to new path or URL. Query strings are kept.

No page redirects yet.

Configuration

Copy the block for the web server the site runs on. On shared hosting that is almost always Apache or LiteSpeed, which both read .htaccess.

Enter the domain to generate rules for.

# Redirect rules for example.com
# Place in the .htaccess file in the website's root folder (public_html, www, httpdocs).
# Put these rules above any existing WordPress or framework rules.

RewriteEngine On

# Force HTTPS. The second condition keeps this from looping behind a
# proxy or CDN (Cloudflare, load balancer) that terminates TLS itself.
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Forwarded-Proto} !=https
RewriteRule ^ https://%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
