Hi,

We have a client who recently switched their site to https://

The rule to force redirect non-secure URLs to https is in their .htaccess file:

RewriteEngine on

if non-SSL and one of these, redirect to SSL

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !on
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.clientdomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]

However, they also have simple redirects below this rule that redirect one page to another, such as:

Redirect 301 /old.php https://www.clientdomain.com/new.php

This is causing redirect chains like this:

(A) http://www.clientdomain.com/old.php > (B) https://www.clientdomain.com/old.php > (C) https://www.clientdomain.com/new.php

Is there any way to rewrite the rules in .htaccess to get rid of these redirect chains? So that URL A goes directly to URL C?

Thank you!
