HTACCESS GENERATOR

Toggle the Apache rules you need — force HTTPS, www or non-www, caching, compression, redirects and more — and get a clean, copy-ready .htaccess file. Everything is assembled live and runs entirely in your browser.

Rules

Force HTTPS

Redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS (301).

Force www / non-www

Canonicalise the hostname to a single preferred form.

Preferred form

Domain (no www, no protocol)

Custom error pages

Serve your own pages for 403, 404 and 500 errors.

404 — Not Found

403 — Forbidden

500 — Server Error

Leave any field blank to skip that error code.

Gzip / Deflate compression

Compress text, HTML, CSS, JS and fonts with mod_deflate.

Browser caching (Expires)

Set far-future expiry headers for static assets.

Cache duration for images / CSS / JS

Block directory listing

Stop Apache from showing folder contents (Options -Indexes).

Hotlink protection

Block other sites from embedding your images.

Your domain (allowed to hotlink)

Custom 301 redirects

Permanently redirect old paths to new locations.

“From” is a path on your site (e.g. /old-page). “To” can be a path or a full URL.

Generated .htaccess

Toggle a rule above to build your file.

# All rules are off — enable one above.

Place this file in your site's root directory. Always keep a backup of your existing .htaccess before replacing it. Rules relying on mod_rewrite, mod_deflate or mod_expires require those Apache modules to be enabled on your server.
