                301 vs 302 — which should I use?
              

              

                Use a 301 for a
                permanent move: it passes nearly all SEO ranking signal to the
                new URL and is cached by browsers. Use a
                302 (or 307) only for
                a temporary redirect you intend to reverse, such as a
                maintenance page or A/B test.
              

            

            

              

                Where do I put the .htaccess file?
              

              

                Place it in the root directory of the site or folder you want
                the rules to apply to (usually the same folder as your
                homepage). The rules take effect for that folder and everything
                beneath it.
              

            

            

              

                Why isn't my redirect working?
              

              

                The most common causes are that mod_rewrite isn't
                enabled, the rules are in the wrong order (Apache applies them
                top to bottom and the first match can win), or your browser
                cached an earlier 301 — test in a private window. Redirects also
                only work on Apache servers, not Nginx.
              

            

            

              

                Does this send my URLs anywhere?
              

              

                No. The rules are generated entirely in your browser from the
                values you enter; nothing is uploaded.
