Forcing HTTPS on All Traffic

One of the many functions you can perform via .htaccess is the 301 redirect, which permanently redirects an old URL to a new one. You can activate the feature to force HTTPS on all incoming traffic by following these steps:

1. Go to File Manager in your hosting panel and open .htaccess inside the public_html folder. If you can’t locate it, make sure to create or unhide it.
2. Scroll down to find RewriteEngine On and insert the following lines of code below it:
    

   RewriteEngine On

   RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off

   RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

    
3. Save the changes.
