WWW Redirect Checker

The WWW Redirect Checker helps you check whether your website correctly redirects between its WWW and non-WWW versions.

For example, you can check whether:

https://example.com

correctly redirects to:

https://www.example.com

or the other way around.

This tool is useful for website owners, developers, and SEO professionals who want to verify their preferred domain version and avoid inconsistent URL access.

How to Use the WWW Redirect Checker

1. Enter your website URL.
2. Click Check WWW Redirect.
3. Wait for the tool to check the website.
4. Review the redirect result and destination URL.
5. Check whether the WWW and non-WWW versions are configured as expected.

What Is a WWW Redirect?

A WWW redirect sends visitors from one version of a website address to another.

For example:

Non-WWW:
https://example.com

WWW:
https://www.example.com

A website may be configured to use either version as its preferred URL. The other version can redirect visitors to the preferred one.

A properly configured redirect helps keep URL access consistent across the website.

What Does the WWW Redirect Checker Check?

The tool can help you check:

• WWW to non-WWW redirects
• Non-WWW to WWW redirects
• Redirect status codes
• Final destination URL
• Redirect behavior
• Preferred domain version
• Whether a redirect is working
• Potential redirect configuration issues

Why Check WWW Redirects?

Checking WWW redirects can be useful for:

• SEO Audits – Verify consistent URL versions.
• Website Setup – Check domain configuration after launching a website.
• Domain Changes – Confirm redirects after changing domain settings.
• Technical SEO – Identify inconsistent WWW and non-WWW behavior.
• Website Maintenance – Make sure redirects continue working correctly.
• Troubleshooting – Find unexpected redirect destinations or errors.

WWW vs Non-WWW

There is no requirement that a website must use WWW or non-WWW.

For example, a website can choose:

https://example.com

as its preferred version and redirect:

https://www.example.com

to it.

Or it can choose:

https://www.example.com

and redirect the non-WWW version to the WWW version.

The important part is that the preferred version is configured consistently.

WWW Redirects and SEO

Using consistent WWW and non-WWW URLs can help search engines understand which version of your website should be used.

A redirect can also help visitors and search engines reach the preferred URL when they access another version.

However, WWW redirects are only one part of technical SEO. They do not replace proper canonical tags, internal linking, sitemap configuration, or other SEO practices.

WWW Redirect Checker vs Redirect Checker

The WWW Redirect Checker focuses specifically on redirects between WWW and non-WWW versions of a domain.

The Redirect Checker can be used to analyze redirects from one URL to another, including 301, 302, and other redirect responses.

Limitations

Redirect results can be affected by server configuration, CDN settings, firewalls, redirects, DNS configuration, HTTPS settings, and security systems.

Some websites may also treat WWW and non-WWW versions differently depending on their hosting or server setup.

A redirect result only shows the behavior detected by the tool and does not represent a complete website or SEO audit.
