Frequently Asked Questions
Where should I upload the .htaccess file?
Upload `.htaccess` to your Apache document root directory (usually `public_html/` or `www/`). Note the leading dot making it a hidden file on Linux systems.
Why does forcing HTTPS via .htaccess prevent duplicate content penalties?
Without canonical redirection, search engines may index both the http:// and https:// versions of your URLs as separate duplicate pages, diluting domain rank.
