htaccess从网址/文件夹中删除index.php

Question

I have a problem and couldn't find a working solution on the internet. So hopefully you can help me.

I need to make my website as SEO friendly as possible. Therefore I need to change the following

https://www.example.com/index.php
https://www.example.com/folder/index.php
https://www.example.com/folder/folder/index.php

To:

https://www.example.com/
https://www.example.com/folder/
https://www.example.com/folder/folder/

I need some kinda canonical redirect so that my website is only accessible without the /index.php in order to eliminate duplicate content.

I would like to use .htaccess. Any help is very much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Just create .htaccess in the main domain (www.example.com/) and put below code.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /(.*)index\.php($|\ |\?)
RewriteRule ^ /%1 [R=301,L]
