Redirect Rule Generator turns a source path, destination and status code into an escaped snippet for Apache, Nginx, Netlify or Vercel, validating and encoding inputs and warning about loops. Migrations are where redirects go wrong, usually because a rule was written for the wrong server or because two rules point at each other, so the page asks for the source and destination and then writes the syntax the host you picked actually expects, with the characters that need escaping escaped. A loop warning appears when the rules you entered reference one another, and it is described as heuristic on the page rather than authoritative, because a complex chain can wrap through rules this tool never sees. Nothing is deployed: the output is text to paste into a configuration file, and the page says plainly that server versions differ and the snippet should be tested in the environment that will serve it. Status codes are part of the input rather than assumed, since a permanent and a temporary redirect are different decisions. The status code is written into the snippet rather than left as a comment, because a redirect that returns the wrong code is treated differently by crawlers and by browsers, and the difference between a permanent move and a temporary one is the kind of mistake that surfaces months later in a search console report.

Frequently asked questions about Redirect Rule Generator
Will the generator edit my server config?
No. It only outputs text to paste; you must add it to your config and test it.
Why warn about redirect loops?
If source and destination are the same, browsers loop; the tool flags it so you catch it before deploying.
Does syntax work on every server version?
No. Directives vary by version; the output includes a note to test in your environment.
Is anything crawled or published?
Nothing is fetched or written; snippets are built only from what you type.
