What is URL Rewriting?
URL rewriting is the process of modifying the appearance of a web URL to make it more user-friendly and search-engine optimized (SEO). It typically involves converting complex "dynamic" URLs containing query strings (like ?id=123) into clean "static" looking URLs (like /product/123).
Why Static URLs are Better
- SEO Ranking: Search engines prefer clean URLs with relevant keywords over confusing strings of numbers and symbols.
- User Trust: Users are more likely to click on
site.com/shoes/nikethansite.com/p.php?c=5&b=2. - Memorability: Clean URLs are easier to remember, type, and share on social media.
How to Use the Generated Code
The code generated by this tool is for Apache web servers (the most common type). To use it:
- Create a file named
.htaccessin the root folder of your website (public_html). - If the file already exists, open it and paste the code at the bottom.
- If creating a new file, simply paste the code and save.
Technical Note: The rule generated uses
RewriteEngine On to enable the module. The RewriteRule directive tells the server: "When someone visits the Clean URL, internally serve the content from the Dynamic URL." The user sees the clean version, but the server processes the data correctly.
