FAQ
- What is an .htaccess file?
- An .htaccess file is a directory-level configuration file used by the Apache web server. It lets you override server settings for a specific directory without editing the main server configuration, enabling redirects, caching rules, and security policies.
- Will this work on Nginx?
- No. .htaccess is an Apache-specific feature. For Nginx, use the nginx-redirect-generator tool instead. Some shared hosting providers also support .htaccess even if they run Nginx under the hood via a compatibility layer.
- What is HSTS and should I enable it?
- HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) tells browsers to only connect to your site over HTTPS for a set duration. Once enabled, browsers will refuse plain HTTP connections. Only enable it when your site is fully HTTPS and you are confident you will not revert to HTTP.
