If you have that many look at RewriteMap

This is an extremely bad idea. Do you have access to your config files / the root user? If so, edit your vhost, and place your redirects in there instead.

 

Such a large .htaccess file will perform very poorly.

 

Further, avoid using mod_rewrite to redirect unless you have no choice.

hello

 

Please tell me the specification of .htaccess.

Place .htaccess in the root directory of the website and set the redirect.

We are considering setting more than 2000 redirects.

Is there a limit on the number of redirect settings or .htaccess file size?

 

I read the .htaccess documentation, but couldn't find any mention of restrictions.
