Why WWW Redirects Matter for Your Website
A proper WWW redirect setup is crucial for several reasons:
SEO Benefits
Search engines consider www and non-www versions of your site as separate entities. Without proper redirects:
- Your SEO efforts get split between two versions
- Backlinks might point to different versions, diluting your link equity
- Duplicate content issues can arise, hurting your rankings
User Experience
Consistent URLs ensure:
- Users always reach your site, regardless of how they type the URL
- Bookmarks and shared links work consistently
- No confusion between different versions of your site
