Apache .htaccess redirection template

redirect.htaccess

# Redirection template
RewriteEngine On

# HTTP Status Codes
# 301 - Moved Permanently: search engines will consider (and if needed switch to) the destination URL
# 302 - Moved Temporarily: does not cause the above. Default when no code provided after the R flag

# Unconditionally redirect all paths to the target site
RewriteRule ^/?.* https://target.example.com/ [R=301,L]

# Redirect while preserving the path and query string
# e.g. https://source.example.com/page-name?param=1 becomes https://target.example.com/page-name?param=1
# RewriteRule ^/?(.*) https://target.example.com/$1 [R=301,QSA,L]
