Have 2 versions of my website, a www. and non-www. and I’m worried about SEO

Hello,

We apologize for the issue you are facing with the two versions of your website. Having both www and non-www versions can indeed affect your SEO if they are not properly redirected to one preferred version.

Since you’ve already set canonical URLs for your posts, the next step is to ensure that proper 301 redirects are in place from one version to the other. Here’s a brief overview of what you can do:

1. Check WordPress Settings: Ensure that both the WordPress Address and Site Address in your WordPress settings are set to the preferred version (either www or non-www). You can find this under Settings → General in your WordPress admin area.
   

2. Edit .htaccess File: Since you are using LiteSpeed, you can add redirection rules to your .htaccess file. Here’s a code snippet to redirect from www to non-www:

   RewriteEngine On
   RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.example.com [NC]
   RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://example.com/$1 [L,R=301]

   Make sure to replace example.com with your actual domain name. You can edit the .htaccess file directly from the Rank Math plugin by navigating to Rank Math SEO → General Settings → Edit .htaccess.
   

3. Use htaccess Tester: Before applying changes, you can use an htaccess tester to ensure that your rewrite rules are correct.

4. Check CDN Settings: Since you are using QUIC.cloud CDN, ensure that there are no conflicting settings there that might be causing issues with redirection.

If you have followed these steps and the issue persists, please reply to this ticket with any specific error messages or behaviors you are experiencing, and a human agent from our support team will assist you further.

Thank you for raising this concern!
