Should I use redirect 301 for htaccess – SEO

Here is the code I’m using to always add https and www to my code.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !on
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.example.com/$1 [R,L]

I’ve read about making the redirect = 301 and was wondering if and how I should do that?

    301 redirect is used for permanent URL redirection so, in your case, [R=301,L] should be used.

    Google states this:

    If you need to change the URL of a page as it is shown in search engine results, we recommend that you use a server-side 301 redirect. This is the best way to ensure that users and search engines are directed to the correct page. The 301 status code means that a page has permanently moved to a new location.

    And also according to Google HTTPS directions 301 redirect is considered a best practice for HTTPS redirects.

    It’s good to have 301 redirection, much better than 401 (google doesn’t like it).
