HTTPS + canonical hostBest default for SEO: one secure version of every URL. HTTPS onlyKeeps the current host and redirects only insecure HTTP traffic. Hostname onlyRedirects www to non-www or non-www to www without changing the protocol. Single page or folder redirectUse this for moved URLs, deleted sections, or migration mapping.

2. Site settings

Domain name Use the root domain only, for example example.com.

Canonical host Pick the version indexed in Search Console and used in your internal links.

Redirect status Use 301 for most SEO migrations. Use temporary codes only while testing.

Compatibility END prevents further per-directory rewrite processing on Apache 2.4+.

Include reverse-proxy HTTPS conditionEnable if SSL is terminated by Cloudflare, a load balancer, or another proxy that sends X-Forwarded-Proto.

3. Path redirect settings

Old path Start with /. For folders, use /old-folder/.
