Our free .htaccess Configuration Generator provides a visual interactive builder to generate clean, production-ready Apache server configuration files. Easily configure HTTPS redirects, www to non-www domain canonicalization, URL extension hiding, directory index blocking, sensitive file protection (shielding .env, .git, and wp-config.php), HTTP security response headers, GZIP compression, and browser caching (mod_expires). Designed for webmasters, WordPress developers, and site administrators, it includes preset templates for popular CMS frameworks, static sites, and Single Page Applications (SPAs). All code generation executes 100% locally in your web browser—your server paths and domain names are never transmitted over the network.
Click a configuration preset (like WordPress/CMS or Static Site Speed) or toggle custom rewrite checkboxes.
Enable HTTPS enforcement, set domain canonicalization, turn on GZIP compression, and add security headers.
Review the compiled directive block, then click 'Copy .htaccess Code' or download .htaccess directly.
Injects protective rules against directory indexing, sensitive config file leaks (.env, .git), malicious bot scrapers, and clickjacking vulnerabilities.
Applies production-tested GZIP mod_deflate compression and Expires browser caching rules to maximize Google PageSpeed scores.
All directive building and file creation run locally in your web browser. No server configurations or domain details are ever transmitted.
An .htaccess (Hypertext Access) file provides directory-level configuration for Apache HTTP servers. The mod_rewrite module processes Perl-Compatible Regular Expressions (PCRE) to evaluate RewriteCond test conditions and execute RewriteRule canonical substitutions.
Security hardening directives set response headers (X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff, X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN) to mitigate cross-site scripting (XSS), clickjacking, and MIME-sniffing exploits, while <FilesMatch> blocks restrict access to sensitive dotfiles (.env, .git).
Performance directives utilize mod_deflate for Gzip text compression and mod_expires to set long-term Cache-Control max-age headers for static images, CSS, and JavaScript assets.
