 * Review in 2025/2026…After many years of using plugins to do redirects, 410 rules,
   browser cache etc. I now just use chatGPT to write my htaccess and WP htaccess
   editor to implement it. This method has helped me clean my htaccess from 1400
   lines built up over 3 versions of the website over 15 years to currently 270 
   lines. BIG SAVINGS in overhead.
