- Enter a path if you want a custom 404 page.
- Copy the generated content and paste it into your server's .htaccess file.
FAQ
Where should I put the .htaccess file?
Place it in the directory you want the settings applied to (usually your website's root directory). It requires an Apache server with the relevant modules (mod_rewrite, mod_deflate, mod_expires, etc.) enabled.
Does this work on Nginx?
No, .htaccess is an Apache-specific feature. On Nginx, you'd write equivalent directives directly inside a server block instead.
I added the file but nothing seems to happen — why?
This usually means the required Apache modules (mod_rewrite, mod_deflate, mod_expires) aren't enabled on your server, or the AllowOverride directive doesn't permit .htaccess to take effect for that directory. Check with your hosting provider or server admin.
