Both www and non-www versions load

Medium priorityTechnical

Your site loads at both example.com and www.example.com instead of one redirecting to the other.

What triggers this issue

  • The other host variant (with or without www) returns 200 instead of redirecting.

Why it matters

Two working versions of every page split backlinks and ranking signals and can be indexed as duplicates. Canonical tags help, but a redirect is the reliable fix.

How to fix it

  1. Pick one version (either is fine) and 301-redirect the other to it, keeping the path.
  2. Use the chosen version in canonicals, internal links and your sitemap.
