WWW & HTTPS Redirect Generator

If your site answers on more than one address, search engines see duplicate pages and split your ranking signals across them. The fix is to force HTTPS redirect rules plus a single canonical host so that http://, https://, www, and non-www all funnel to one clean URL. This free WWW and HTTPS Redirect Generator writes the exact server config you need, so visitors and Googlebot always land on the version you actually want indexed.

Pick your domain, choose whether you prefer the www or root host, turn on the force HTTPS redirect toggle, and select Apache or Nginx. The tool templates a correct 301 redirect block (an .htaccess RewriteRule set for Apache, or a return 301 server block for Nginx) that you can copy or download and drop straight onto your server. Consolidating to one secure, canonical URL protects link equity, speeds up crawling, and removes the mixed-signal confusion that quietly holds rankings back.

Clean, consistent URLs are also the foundation for accurate local rank tracking. Once your redirects are solid, you can measure your Google Maps and local visibility properly with ProMapRanker, start free.

FAQ

Why should I force HTTPS redirect on every page?

Serving the same content over both http:// and https:// creates duplicate URLs and triggers browser "not secure" warnings that scare off visitors. A force HTTPS redirect sends every insecure request to the encrypted version with a single 301, so users get a padlock, your data stays protected, and Google indexes only the secure URL.

Should I choose www or non-www as my canonical host?

Neither is better for SEO on its own, so the key is to pick one and redirect the other to it permanently. Larger sites sometimes prefer www for cookie and CDN handling, while many smaller brands like the shorter root domain. This generator builds a 301 redirect that enforces whichever host you select so you never split signals between the two.

Do 301 redirects pass SEO value to the canonical URL?

Yes. A 301 is a permanent redirect, and it passes the large majority of ranking signals to the destination URL while telling search engines to swap the old address for the new one in their index. That is exactly why canonical host and HTTPS redirects should always use 301 rather than a temporary 302.
