Which redirect formats can the tool generate?

It supports Apache .htaccess, Nginx, Netlify _redirects, Vercel vercel.json, Cloudflare Pages _redirects and Cloudflare Bulk Redirects CSV.

Can I enter complete source and destination URLs?

Yes. HTTP and HTTPS URLs or root-relative paths are accepted where the platform permits them. Cross-domain destination URLs remain complete in generated rules.

What redirect problems are detected?

Local validation checks malformed and self-redirecting mappings, duplicates, conflicting destinations, chains, loops, unsupported status codes and several wildcard-order risks.

Are generated rules deployed or tested against my server?

No. Output is a configuration draft. Back up the current setup and validate it in the final server or hosting context, especially when other rules may affect matching order.

Generated Redirect Rules

0 usable of 1 rule

# Add valid redirect mappings to generate output.

Place the directives in the applicable Apache configuration or .htaccess context. Confirm that mod_alias or mod_rewrite is enabled as required. Always back up and validate the existing configuration before deployment.

Validation

Add redirect rules to check for potential issues.

Pattern behavior cannot be fully simulated without the final server context. Generated rules are not deployed or tested against live HTTP responses.

Frequently asked questions

About Redirect Rule Generator

Redirect syntax varies sharply between web servers and hosting products, even when the mapping intention is identical. This generator starts with the source, destination and HTTP status, then renders only the forms supported by Apache, Nginx, Netlify, Vercel or Cloudflare. Full source URLs remain visible to the user while path-oriented formats receive the appropriate path representation.

Before export, the mapping graph is checked for conflicts, loops and avoidable chains. Pattern rules, query forwarding and host normalization expose contextual cautions because their outcome depends on the surrounding production configuration. The result is editable native configuration—not a deployed rule set—so final testing on the target platform is still essential.
