What is .htaccess?
The .htaccess file is a configuration file for Apache web servers. It lets you set URL redirects, security headers, caching rules, and more · without editing the main server config.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where do I place the .htaccess file?
Place it in your website's root directory (usually public_html or www). The rules apply to that directory and all subdirectories.
Will this work on Nginx?
No. .htaccess is Apache-specific. Nginx uses its own config syntax in nginx.conf or site config files.
Can .htaccess slow down my site?
Apache checks .htaccess on every request, so very large files can add overhead. For high-traffic sites, moving rules to the main Apache config is faster.
