I have one website and i getting ulr in browser like this : www.abc.com/?i=1
I registered domain on http://www.freenom.com and they provide url like this.
So, SEO analysis tool said your website url not SEO friendly.
So, How to make website url SEO friendly using .htaccess file.
You can change your current url format to http://example.com/1 to make it search engine friendly.
To convert /?i=1 to /1 you can use the following RewriteRule in your /.htaccess .
RewriteEngine on
# externally redirect from /?i=foobar to /footboar
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /\?i=([^\s]+) [NC]
RewriteRule ^.*$ /%1? [L,R]
# internally map /footboar to /?i=foobar
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ /?i=$1 [L]

I want to make example.com /productName to example.com /product/productName
I just want to add static text /product/ in mid to url how can i add this with .htaccess file to url structure? I already tried this code but it did not worked.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
#hiding parameter name and product.php
RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)$ /product.php?productName=$1 [NC,L]
With your shown attempts, please try following htaccess Rules. Please make sure to keep your htaccess along with folder product(not inside product folder).
Make sure to clear your browser cache before testing your URLs.

I'd like to use SEO friendly URLs on my website so I wrote the following code to my .htaccess file:
# url rewrite query string removal....
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/?$ index.php?pagina=$1
# url rewrite query string removal....
OR the code below (NOT used at the same moment and both seems to do the same for me)
# url rewrite query string removal..
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^/\.]+)/?$ index.php?pagina=$1
# TEST
# url rewrite query string removal..
Both work just fine for all pages except 1 page. My homepage is not working if I try to visit domain for example www.example.com is not working but www.example.com/home is working.
My question is: How can I have SEO friendly homepage if:
The original url is http://www.example.com/index.php?pagina=home AND if I use the .htaccess code it will be http://www.example.com/home but as I do not like www.example.com/home as my homepage, I'd like to rewrite the homepage to www.example.com and all others should be at www.example.com/filename where filename can be any of the file names that can be found in the /pagina/ folder.
How to set homepage to www.example.com instead of www.example.com/home without any errors and what .htaccess code is best for me?
You can do a redirect for /home and keep that rule before current rule.
Have it this way:
DirectoryIndex index.php
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^home/?$ / [L,R=302,NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/?$ index.php?pagina=$1 [L,QSA]
# url rewrite query string removal....
I tried some of the other answers I could find in here, but it didn't work out. It's really simple though.
I want
/page?id=PAGENAME
to be accessible AND redirected to
/PAGENAME
Can you help me?
EDIT:
It feels like my already messed-up .htaccess file needs to be included in here. I already have basic rewriting enabled, but this feature is needed for two other "special pages". In the requested solution above, I would therefore just replace "page" with the two pagenames (it's danish names, so I thought it was easier this way).
Currently I have this. If you have any improvements to it, it's appreciated - but I just want this to work with the requested solution aswell.

Generally the URL in address bar should be like
www.siteurl.com/pagename/ for seo purpose and then read this url from .htaccess using rule which gives this query string parameter values in your php file.
.htaccess rule can be like
RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ /page?id=$1 [QSA,L]
It looks like you are wanting to implement "friendly" (or "pretty") URLs, making the URLs more friendly for you users (search engines don't really mind what your URLs look like).
The first step is to change all your on-page links to use the new "friendly" URL. So, you links should all be of the form /pagename (not /page?id=PAGENAME).
Then, in .htaccess, you need to internally rewrite this "friendly" URL into the real URL that your server understands. This can be done using mod_rewrite. In the .htaccess file in your document root:
# Enable the rewrite engine
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
# Rewrite the "friendly" URL back to the real URL
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !^id=
RewriteRule ^([\w-]*) /page?id=$1 [L]
If the file does not exist (!-f) and does not contain the id URL param then internally rewrite the request from /<pagename> to /page?id=<pagename>. This assumes your <pagename> consists only of the characters a-z, A-Z, 0-9, _ and -.
If this is a new site and the old URLs are not already indexed or referenced by external sites then you can stop here.
However, if you are changing an existing URL structure then you also need to externally redirect the real (ugly) URL to the "friendly" URL before the above internal rewrite. (This is actually what you are asking in your question.) In order to prevent a rewrite loop we can check against %{THE_REQUEST} (which does not change when the URL is rewritten).
# Redirect real URLs to "friendly" URLs
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \?id=([\w-]*)
RewriteRule ^page$ /%1? [R=302,L]
Change the 302 (temporary) to 301 (permanent) when you are sure this is working OK. Permanent redirects are cached by the browser so can make testing a problem.
So, in summary, with the above two parts shown together:
# Enable the rewrite engine
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
# Redirect real URLs to "friendly" URLs
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \?id=([\w-]*)
RewriteRule ^page$ /%1? [R=302,L]
# Rewrite the "friendly" URL back to the real URL
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !^id=
RewriteRule ([\w-]*) /page?id=$1 [L]
The order of directives is important. External redirects should nearly always come before internal rewrites.
UPDATE#1:
I want /concept?id=NAME to go to /NAME and /studio?id=NAME to go to /NAME - there's 5-10 different "pages" from both concept and studio. [Corrected according to later comment]
Since id=NAME maps to /NAME you can achieve all 10-20 redirects with just a single rule:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^id=(NAME|foo|bar|baz|abc|def|ghi)
RewriteRule ^(concept|studio)$ /%1? [R,L]
This will redirect a URL such as /studio?id=foo to /foo.
As with all external redirects this should be one of the first rules in your .htaccess file.
Change R to R=301 when you have tested that it is working OK.
To make this more "dynamic", ie. match any "NAME" then change the CondPattern, for example:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^id=([\w-]*)
UPDATE#2:
If the path part of the URL (ie. concept or studio) is required then you can modify the RewriteRule substitution like so:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^id=([\w-]*)
RewriteRule ^(concept|studio)$ /$1/%1? [R,L]
Which will redirect /concept?id=foo to /concept/foo.
Or, to be completely "dynamic" (bearing in mind this will now capture anything):
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^id=([\w-]*)
RewriteRule ^([\w-]+)$ /$1/%1? [R,L]
A site of mine has all the files stored in a subdirectory. Previously, I used a 301 redirect to send visitors from site.com/specific/page to site.com/subdirectory/specific/page.
I am now using this:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?site.com$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/subdirectory/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /subdirectory/$1
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?site.com$
RewriteRule ^(/)?$ subdirectory/index.php [L]
This means the URL is cleaner. However, is there a way to make the htaccess redirect people using the subdirectory to the cleaner URL? i.e. if someone goes to site.com/subdirectory/specific/page, is there a way to make the URL site.com/specific/page, while showing the content from site.com/subdirectory/specific/page?
Yes, buit instead of rewriting, youn would redirect..
RedirectMatch 301 "^/subdirectory/(.*)" "/$1"
That way, if they hit any subdirectory directly, they will be redirected to the cleaner URL, where your rules above will kick in.
We just redesigned a site for a client in EE, located at example.com (with and without www.). Their original site is ASPX. They've still got a number of ASPX pages that they want to keep, so their IT people created a subdomain, www2, which is basically a clone of their old site.
I need an htaccess rule that will check if the requested page ends in .aspx, then redirects to the www2 subdomain. It should also make sure that the requested page doesn't exist
I tried using the following rule, but it doesn't work.
RewriteRule ^http://[www\.?]example.com/(.*)\.aspx$ http://www2.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]
My htaccess file (including the above rule) looks like this:
RewriteEngine On
# redirect all .aspx pages to www2
RewriteRule ^http://[www\.?]example.com/(.*)\.aspx$ http://www2.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]
# strip index.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]
Does anyone have a solution for this?
The RewriteRule directive does only test the URL path. If you want to test any other part of the requested URL, you need to use the RewriteCond directive:
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?example\.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)\.aspx$ http://www2.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]
