Redirect Rule Generator

How to use

1. 1Add a rule. Type the old URL path in From (for example, /old-page) and the new URL or path in To (a relative path like /new-page or a full URL like https://example.com/new).
2. 2Pick the status code: 301 for permanent moves (the SEO default), 302 for temporary, 307 to preserve POST method on a temporary move, or 308 for a permanent move that preserves method.
3. 3Pick the match type: Exact for a single URL, Prefix to redirect a path and everything under it (the tail is preserved on the destination), or Regex for advanced patterns.
4. 4Add more rules with Add another redirect. The notices panel flags missing slashes, redirect loops, and chained redirects so you can fix them before shipping.
5. 5Pick your server (Apache, Nginx, Caddy, Netlify, Vercel, Cloudflare Pages, IIS, or HTML meta refresh) and click Copy snippet. Paste into the file shown in the tab description.

About this tool

Redirect Rule Generator turns a list of source-to-destination redirect rules into ready-to-paste configuration snippets for the eight places people actually ship redirects: Apache .htaccess (mod_alias Redirect for exact paths and mod_rewrite RewriteRule for prefix and regex matches), Nginx server blocks (location = for exact matches, ^~ with a rewrite for prefix moves, and location ~ for regex), Caddy (redir directive with path_regexp matchers when needed), Netlify _redirects, Vercel vercel.json (using :path* placeholders and the permanent flag for 301 and 308), Cloudflare Pages (which shares the Netlify format), IIS web.config (the URL Rewrite module with Permanent, Found, or Temporary redirectType), and a static HTML meta-refresh page with a JavaScript fallback for hosts where you cannot edit server configuration. Each rule picks its own status code (301 Moved Permanently for permanent moves so search engines transfer ranking signals, 302 Found for temporary moves like A/B tests and promos, 307 Temporary Redirect when the HTTP method and body must be preserved, and 308 Permanent Redirect when permanence and method preservation both matter) and its own match type (Exact for a single literal URL, Prefix to redirect a path and everything under it while preserving the tail, or Regex for advanced pattern matching). The tool flags common pitfalls before you ship: missing leading slashes, identical source and destination (an infinite loop), 302 codes on URLs that look like permanent moves (which dilutes ranking signals after migration), and multi-hop redirect chains where one rule sends a user to a URL that is itself redirected by another rule (each extra hop adds latency and erodes the consolidated signal Google attributes to the final destination). Useful for site migrations, domain consolidations, slug renames, URL hygiene after a CMS replatform, decommissioning old marketing landing pages, moving from www to apex (or back), forcing https, and any one-off redirect you need to ship today.
