.htaccess Generator for Drupal

A 301 redirect is a permanent redirect from one URL to another. It tells search engines that a page has moved permanently, and they should pass the SEO ranking power (link equity) from the old page to the new one.

Redirect 301 is a simple Apache directive from the mod_alias module. It's best for straightforward 1-to-1 page redirects (e.g., redirecting /old.html to /new.html).

RewriteRule belongs to mod_rewrite and supports Regular Expressions. It is much more powerful and is used for complex pattern matching, query string redirects, or redirecting entire directories dynamically.

You need to copy the generated rules and paste them into a file named .htaccess in the root directory of your website (e.g., public_html or www). Note: this only works if your website is hosted on an Apache web server.
