Have a small wordpress blog and was following this guide. One of the step was to change htaccess file for redirects for non-www and www to https www. According to https://varvy.com/tools/redirects/ there should only be one redirect on each type.
But for my no www no http to https www there is 2 redirect happening.
http://myportal.com
301 redirect
https://myportal.com/
https://myportal.com/
301 redirect
https://www.myportal.com/
Many of the tools are taking this as a negative and saying too many redirects. How can I make the 2 step into 1 step? So the result comes to
http://myportal.com
301 redirect
https://www.myportal.com/
Currently have the following code.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
You can use the following rule to force https and www in a single URL redirection.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(?:www\.)?(.+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.%1%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
Note : Remove the non-www to to www redirect rule If you already have that rule in your htaccess otherwise that might conflict with this one.
Make sure to clear your browser cache before testing this new rule.

I'm trying to make all versions of homepage URLs 301 to same place, without a 301.
It's difficult to show the problem because I don't have enough rep points to post image or show the http response codes in a chart (too many links!)
But, using the code below https://www.example.com/ goes to http://www.example.com/ first, before it 301s to the homepage URL http://example.com
I'm on apache, and I've been using .htaccess to try to resolve this.
I've tried also tried the following, but it only works for file paths.
Redirect 301 /oldfile.htm /newfile.htm
# Redirect HTTPS to HTTP
RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Forwarded-Proto} =https
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
#Force non-www:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.example.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://example/$1 [L,R=301]
I've tried also tried the following, but it only works for file paths.
Redirect 301 /oldfile.htm /newfile.htm
Is there a way I can make https://www.example.com/ go to http://example.com without the 301 chain?
Thanks,
Mike.
You can use a single rule to redirect your https URLs to http and non-www version. This will redirect all of your https urls to http without creating multiple redirect chain.
Replace your htaccess rules with this :
# Redirect HTTPS to HTTP and non-www
RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Forwarded-Proto} =https [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.example\.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(?:www\.)?(.+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%1%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
Make sure to clear your browser cache or use a different web browser to test this rule.
After reading all relevant answers here regarding .htaccess and redirects, and some experimentation with .htaccess rewrite conditions and rules my problem persists.
I managed to force www and https for my Magento site. Here is what I have at the moment:
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule .* https://www.example.com%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule .* https://www.example.com%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
After creating the subdomain test.example.com and a test environment at public_html/test/ I want to exclude it from the above rules since the subdomain will neither have a www of a https.
I tried to put this exception in the rules above but with no success.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^test\.example\.com$
For example, when I type http://test.example.com/admin/ to enter the Magento admin, it redirects me to https://www.example.com/admin/ Do I have to also edit the public_html/test/.htaccess file ?
Thank you in advance
Yes, this is happening because of your Rules, the 2nd rule checks if the host value doesn't start with www the redirect the host to www.example.com this rule also redirects any non-www http host to the main domain with www.
To fix this, you can use a single rule to redirect http to https:www excluding the subdomain
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^test\.example\.com$
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(?:www\.)?(.+)$
RewriteRule ^ https://www.%1%{REQUEST_URI} [NE,L,R]
I need to redirect everything to my domain to use https://www and below is the .htaccess I am currently using:
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
# First rewrite to HTTPS:
# Don't put www. here. If it is already there it will be included, if not
# the subsequent rule will catch it.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
# Now, rewrite any request to the wrong domain to use www.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
It is working but it makes 2 redirects to the browser one if missing the www and the second if missing the secure which is slow of course and may be bad.
What I want or my question is can this be reduced to single redirect rule to make it add both the www and the https in one rule.
This online test tool shows 2 redirects https://varvy.com/tools/ :
Final status code: 200
2 Redirect(s)
http://domain.com
301 redirect
https://domain.com/
https://domain.com/
301 redirect
https://www.domain.com/
Any good optimizations to this code.
You can use:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
RewriteRule ^ https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [NE,L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [NE,L,R=301]
2 rules but never more than one redirection
You can use just 1 single rule
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.example.com/$1 [R,L]
non-www to www redirect is not needed here because you want to redirect both versions to https://www .
Clear your browser's cache before testing this.
I'd like to redirect incoming requests to our https:// non-www version of the site using a 301 redirect. It is required to exclude two subdomains specifically (webmin.domain.com and newsletter.domain.com)
This is what I have so far
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTPS_HOST} !^(newsletter|webmin)\.domain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://domain.com$1 [L,R=301]
The problem with the above is, that it creates an infinite loop because it seems that the RewriteCond matches the non-www version of the URL.
How can I extend this rewrite rule properly?
Try the following:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(?!newsletter|webmin)[^.]+\.domain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^.*$ https://domain.com/$0 [R=301,L]
I want to redirect my non-www requests to www version. Have set wwww version as my preferred domain in google webmasters.
I have added the following in my .htaccess file
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
But the problem is that if I hit a non-www url, it gives me 404 because of that extra space introduced automatically after the redirect. Following is a sample URL:
javaexperience.com/eclipse-get-access-modifier-suggestions-using-ucdetector-plugin/
This rewrite rule works for me
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^yourdomain.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.yourdomain.com/$1 [L,R=301]
The rule redirects the old urls to new ones, with a 301 header, that will be ok for your SEO
