FAQ
Apache vs LiteSpeed vs nginx?
Directive syntax differs; `.htaccess` applies to Apache-compatible stacks—nginx needs its own `rewrite` blocks.
301 vs 302 SEO?
Permanent consolidates signals when URLs truly moved; temporary preserves old URL equity while A/B routing—mislabeling confuses crawlers.
RewriteBase headaches?
Subdirectory installs sometimes need `RewriteBase`—test on staging with logging enabled.
Trailing slash debates?
Be consistent; mixes create duplicate content—pick one style and redirect the other.
WAF interactions?
Some hosts block `.htaccess` uploads—use their panel or escalate tickets.
Backup first?
A typo can white-screen WordPress—keep FTP backups before experimenting.
