301 Redirect from http to https and new page name – SEO

I have a site that is going from a non secure HTML/PHP site to a secure WordPress site. All pages are changing. Also going from www to non-www.

So as an example

http://www.sitename.com/contact.php

will become

https://sitename.com/contact-us/

I know how to do a typical redirect in .htaccess:

Redirect 301 /oldpage.html http://www.example.com/newpage.html

But I’m not sure how to do this when both the page location and the HTTP/HTTPS is changing as well as the www going away. The site ranks pretty well and I don’t want to lose any of that.

I’ve researched but can’t find an example of doing both at the same time.

    You should be able to do using rule like this:

    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(?:www.)?(.+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^contact.php$ https://%1/contact-us/ [R=301,L,NC]

    Since your page names are different you will need multiple rules like this.

    Make sure to keep these rules above all other rules.

    RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www. [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^contact.php$ https://example.com/contact-us [NC,L,R=301,NE]

    The rule above rewrites the following requests :
