Enter a URL
Ensure your website is correctly configured for its preferred domain version (WWW or non-WWW) and secure connection (HTTPS) with our WWW / HTTPS Redirect Checker. This essential tool helps webmasters, SEO professionals, and website owners verify that their site properly redirects users and search engines to a single, canonical URL, which is crucial for SEO and user experience.
Inconsistent URL versions (e.g., http://example.com, http://www.example.com, https://example.com, and https://www.example.com all leading to live, separate pages) can cause duplicate content issues, dilute link equity, and confuse search engines.
Simply enter your website's domain, and our tool will check:
How the non-WWW version redirects (or doesn't) to the WWW version (or vice versa, depending on your preferred setup).
How the HTTP version redirects to the HTTPS (secure) version.
The HTTP status codes for each step of the redirect (e.g., 301 for permanent, 302 for temporary).
The final landing URL after all redirects are followed.
Key Benefits & Uses:
Prevent Duplicate Content Issues: Ensure search engines see only one authoritative version of your homepage and other pages.
Consolidate Link Equity: Proper 301 redirects ensure that ranking signals from all variations point to your single preferred URL.
Improve SEO Performance: Canonicalization is a fundamental aspect of technical SEO that helps search engines crawl and rank your site more effectively.
Enhance User Experience: Provides a consistent browsing experience for users, regardless of how they type your domain.
Verify SSL/HTTPS Implementation: Confirms that traffic from insecure HTTP is correctly forwarded to secure HTTPS.
Troubleshoot Redirect Chains: Identify if redirects are set up correctly, if there are too many redirects, or if the wrong type of redirect (e.g., 302 instead of 301) is being used.
Verify Server Configuration: Check if your .htaccess file (for Apache) or other server configurations are correctly implementing the desired redirects.
Maintain a clean, authoritative web presence. Use our WWW / HTTPS Redirect Checker to confirm your site's redirects are working as intended, safeguarding your SEO and providing a seamless experience for your visitors.
Pro-Tip: For SEO best practices, you should choose one preferred version (e.g., https://www.example.com or https://example.com) and ensure all other variations 301 redirect to it.
