.htaccess Generator

It assumes mod_rewrite (redirects/rewrites), mod_headers (security headers), mod_deflate (gzip compression), and mod_expires (browser caching) are all enabled — the standard set available on most shared Apache hosting.

Some managed or restrictive hosting providers disable specific Apache modules (most commonly mod_headers or mod_expires) or don't allow certain directives in .htaccess at all. Check your host's documentation or ask support which modules are enabled if a generated directive appears to have no effect.

It tells Apache: if the requested path doesn't match a real file or directory on disk, silently rewrite the request to index.html instead of returning a 404 — the standard pattern needed for client-side-routed single-page apps like React Router or Vue Router.

No — the tool only applies one at a time (www takes priority if both are somehow checked), since forcing both directions simultaneously would create a redirect loop.

No — it only assembles standard Apache directive text based on which checkboxes you select. It doesn't connect to your server or verify the directives will behave as expected in your specific hosting environment.
