Redirect Generator

Generate Apache, Nginx, IIS, Cloudflare, Netlify, Vercel, Next.js, Express, meta refresh, JavaScript, and CSV redirect rules with chain and loop validation.

About Redirect Generator

Create redirect rules for common platforms, validate chains and loops, and export clean redirect configuration files.

A Redirect Generator helps create URL redirect rules for site migrations, content moves, domain changes, HTTPS migrations, trailing slash cleanup, and technical SEO handoffs. Redirects send visitors and crawlers from an old URL to a new destination. This tool builds copy-ready rules for Apache .htaccess, Nginx, IIS web.config, Cloudflare Redirect Rules, Netlify _redirects, Vercel vercel.json, Next.js redirects, Express.js, HTML Meta Refresh, JavaScript redirects, and plain redirect mapping files while checking common redirect risks.

How to use Redirect Generator

Choose the redirect platform, match type, query-string behavior, host preference, and case-sensitivity setting. Add rules manually, duplicate rows, reorder rows, load templates, or paste bulk old-url,new-url pairs. Review validation messages for missing fields, invalid URLs, duplicate sources, conflicting destinations, chains, loops, HTTP destinations, tracking parameters, protocol mismatches, relative and absolute URL mixing, unsupported regex patterns, catch-all conflicts, temporary redirects used for permanent migrations, and weak meta or JavaScript SEO redirects. Copy the generated configuration or download TXT, CSV, JSON, XML, or platform-specific files.

Redirect Generator example

A website migration might redirect /old-seo-tools/ to /seo-tools/, /old-pricing/ to https://www.example.com/pricing/, and http://www.example.com/old-guide/ to https://www.example.com/guides/new-guide/. The generator can output Apache Redirect rules, Nginx rewrite rules, Cloudflare JSON, Netlify rows, Vercel redirects, Next.js redirect objects, Express.js handlers, or a plain CSV mapping file. If /a/ redirects to /b/ and /b/ redirects to /c/, the validator flags a chain so the first URL can point directly to /c/.

Use 301 or 308 when the move is permanent. Use 302 or 307 when the redirect is temporary, such as a short campaign, test, or temporary routing change.
