Build Apache 301/302 Redirect Rules
Understanding Apache Redirects
SEO-Safe Migrations
Use 301 redirects to preserve search rankings when moving or renaming pages permanently.
Temporary Redirects
Use 302 redirects for maintenance pages or A/B tests where the change isn't permanent.
Apache mod_alias
Generates standard Redirect directives supported by any Apache server with mod_alias enabled (the default).
Local Processing
Your redirect paths never leave your browser — the rules are built entirely client-side.
301 vs 302: Why It Matters
A 301 (Moved Permanently) redirect tells browsers and search engines the old URL is gone for good, transferring most of its SEO value to the new destination. A 302 (Found / Temporary) redirect signals the move is temporary, so search engines keep the original URL indexed and don't pass ranking signals to the new one. Using the wrong type is a common cause of lost search rankings after a site migration.
Key Takeaways
- Multiple Rules: Add as many redirect rules as you need before generating.
- Path Normalization: Old paths are automatically prefixed with a leading slash.
- Client-Side Only: All generation happens locally in your browser — no data is ever sent to a server.
