Joomla .htaccess Generator

Pick the rules you want and copy the snippet. These add to Joomla's shipped htaccess.txt — they don't replace it.

Force HTTPS (redirect http → https) Canonicalize www

Redirect www → non-www (example.com) Redirect non-www → www (www.example.com) Your domain

Disable directory browsing Block access to sensitive files (configuration.php, logs, .git…) Enable gzip compression (mod_deflate) Browser caching for static assets (mod_expires)

Generated rules

Paste these into your site-root .htaccess (Apache only). Test on a staging copy — a wrong rule can take the whole site to a 500 error. If that happens, rename .htaccess to undo.
