About www Redirect Checker

Eliminate Duplicate Content and Secure Your Preferred Domain.

The www vs. non-www choice is a fundamental SEO decision. However, if your site is accessible at both https://yourdomain.com and https://www.yourdomain.com without a proper redirect, you create a critical duplicate content issue. This splits your ranking signals, confuses search engines, and dilutes your site's authority.

Instantly Diagnose and Fix Redirect Issues with Our Free WWW/Non-WWW Checker.

Get clarity in seconds. Our tool performs a real-time technical audit of your domain's core configuration. It checks both versions (www and non-www) for their HTTP status codes, final redirect destination, and SSL status, providing a clear pass/fail report on your canonical setup.

Why Proper WWW/Non-WWW Canonicalization is Non-Negotiable for SEO:

  • Prevent Duplicate Content Penalties: Forces search engines to treat one version (your chosen canonical version) as the single, authoritative source for your content, consolidating all ranking power.

  • Consolidate Link Equity & Analytics: Ensures all backlinks, social shares, and tracking data flow to one primary domain URL, giving you an accurate picture of your site's performance.

  • Improve Crawl Efficiency: Prevents search engine crawlers from wasting budget indexing the same pages twice under different URLs.

  • Enhance User Experience & Brand Consistency: Presents a single, clean, professional URL to users everywhere, whether they type it with or without the www.

From a Simple Check to a Technical Health Report.

Our tool doesn't just tell you if there's a redirect—it tells you if it's correct:

  • Primary Domain Status: Checks http://https://http://www, and https://www versions.

  • Redirect Chain Analysis: Maps the exact path (e.g., http:// -> https:// -> https://www).

  • Final Canonical URL: Confirms which version you've ultimately settled on as the primary.

  • SSL Validity: Verifies the HTTPS certificate is valid and properly installed on all versions.

  • Critical Issue Identification: Flags dangerous setups like double redirectsredirect loops, or mixed content warnings.

Your Action Plan for Canonical Consistency:

  1. Enter Your Domain: Type your base domain (e.g., yourdomain.com).

  2. Run the Redirect Audit: Receive an instant, color-coded report on the status of all four primary variations.

  3. Interpret the Results:

    • PASS: All versions correctly and efficiently redirect to one secure, canonical URL (e.g., https://www.yourdomain.com).

    • FAIL: One or more versions are accessible as separate sites, redirect incorrectly, or lack SSL.

  4. Implement the Fix: Based on the report, configure a 301 (Permanent) redirect in your .htaccess file (Apache), Nginx server config, or via your hosting control panel to enforce your chosen canonical domain. Our report will specify the ideal target.

Critical For:

  • All Website Owners: This is a basic, essential technical setup that should be verified at launch and during regular audits.

  • SEO Agencies & Consultants: A standard check in every initial technical SEO audit for new clients.

  • Web Developers & SysAdmins: Ensure proper server configuration before handing off a site to a client.
