Geben Sie eine URL ein
Consistency is the backbone of technical SEO. To a search engine, [http://yourwebsite.com](http://yourwebsite.com) and [http://www.yourwebsite.com](http://www.yourwebsite.com) are two different websites. Without a proper redirect, your SEO authority is divided, and you risk being penalized for duplicate content. Our Free WWW Redirect Checker instantly verifies your server configuration to ensure all traffic is funneled into a single, high-authority URL.
Consolidate Link Juice: When other sites link to you, they might use the "www" or "non-www" version. A proper 301 redirect ensures 100% of that ranking power goes to your primary domain.
Prevent Duplicate Content: Google dislikes seeing the exact same content on two different URLs. A redirect tells the bots, "This is the master version of the page."
Better User Experience: Ensure that no matter what a user types into their browser, they land on the correct, secure version of your site.
SSL/HTTPS Validation: This tool also helps verify if your non-secure (HTTP) traffic is correctly moving to your secure (HTTPS) "www" or "non-www" destination.
Enter Your Domain: Type in your website address (e.g., mysite.com).
Analyze: Click "Check Redirect."
Interpret the Results:
Success: You will see a "301 Moved Permanently" status leading to your preferred version.
Warning: If both versions load separately without redirecting, you need to update your server settings immediately.
HTTP Status Code Detection: We identify if your server is using a "301" (Permanent) or "302" (Temporary) redirect—crucial for SEO.
Full Path Visualization: See the exact "hop" your browser takes from the initial request to the final destination.
Zero Configuration: Just enter the URL; our tool handles the server headers and handshake checks.
Completely Free: Perform unlimited checks across all your domains and client sites.
Q: Is "www" better than "non-www" for SEO?
A: Neither is inherently "better" for ranking. What matters to Google is consistency. Pick one format and ensure the other version redirects to it permanently using a 301 redirect.
Q: What is a 301 Redirect?
A: A 301 redirect is a server-side command that tells browsers and search engines that a page has been moved permanently to a new location. This is the only redirect that passes nearly 100% of ranking power (link equity).
Q: Can I change my preference later?
A: You can, but it is not recommended once your site is indexed. Changing your URL structure can cause a temporary dip in rankings while Google re-indexes the new "preferred" version.
