Frequently Asked Questions
A 301 redirect is permanent and tells search engines to transfer all SEO value from the old URL to the new one. A 302 redirect is temporary and does not pass SEO value. Use 301 for permanent URL changes.
RewriteRule requires mod_rewrite and offers more flexibility for pattern matching. The Redirect directive is simpler and uses mod_alias. Both achieve the same result for basic redirects.
Yes, for RewriteRule to work you need mod_rewrite enabled and AllowOverride set to All in your Apache configuration. The Redirect directive only requires mod_alias, which is enabled by default.
Create or edit a file named .htaccess in the root directory of your website (or the directory you want the redirect to apply to) and paste the generated rules.
