Generate Apache .htaccess rules for redirects, rewrites, security headers, caching, compression, and more.
What is .htaccess?
.htaccess is a configuration file used by Apache web servers to control directory-level settings like redirects, URL rewriting, security, and caching without modifying the main server config.
Where should I place .htaccess?
Place the .htaccess file in the root directory of your website or in any subdirectory where you want the rules to apply. Rules affect the directory and all subdirectories.
Does .htaccess work with Nginx?
No, .htaccess is specific to Apache. Nginx uses a different configuration syntax. If you use Nginx, you need to convert .htaccess rules to Nginx configuration format.
Can .htaccess rules break my site?
Yes, incorrect .htaccess rules can cause 500 Internal Server Error or broken redirects. Always test rules and keep a backup of your working .htaccess file.
