Examples

Example

Non-WWW Test:

Redirect Detected: Yes

WWW Test:
Input URL: https://www.example.com/
Final URL: https://www.example.com/
Redirect Detected: No

Shows a site that forces the www version.

Example

Input

example.com

Output

Preferred Version: non-www

Non-WWW Test:
Input URL: https://example.com/
Final URL: https://example.com/
Redirect Detected: No

WWW Test:
Input URL: https://www.example.com/
Final URL: https://example.com/
Redirect Detected: Yes

Shows a site that removes www and keeps the root domain as canonical.

Common errors

A page URL is used when only the main domain should be checked.

Fix: Use the root domain like example.com for the clearest www vs non-www result.

Users confuse redirects with canonical tags.

Fix: This tool checks real redirects. Use a canonical checker for rel=canonical tags.

Both versions load without redirect and look fine.

Fix: That can still be an SEO issue because the hostname preference is inconsistent.

FAQ

What does this tool check?

It checks how a domain behaves between www and non-www versions and shows the final destination for both.

Why is this useful for SEO?

It helps confirm that only one hostname version is preferred, which supports cleaner canonical signals.

Can I enter just a domain?

Yes. A plain domain like example.com is enough.

What if both versions stay accessible?

That usually means the site is not enforcing a single preferred hostname consistently.

How is this different from Website Redirect Checker?

Website Redirect Checker tests a single URL path, while this tool compares www and non-www hostname behavior specifically.
