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.
