www and apex both return 200

What this means

When both https://domain.com and https://www.domain.com return 200 with the same content, search engines see two distinct origins serving the same pages. Link equity is split between them. Google may index both versions. A canonical tag helps, but it does not fully substitute for a proper redirect.

Choose one version as your primary domain and redirect the other to it with a 301.

How to fix it

The fix depends on your hosting or CDN configuration.

Vercel

In the Vercel dashboard, set your primary domain under “Domains” in your project settings. Vercel automatically issues a 301 redirect from the non-primary variant. No additional config is needed.

Netlify

In netlify.toml, redirect the non-canonical variant:

# Redirect www to apex
[[redirects]]
  from = "https://www.yourdomain.com/*"
  to = "https://yourdomain.com/:splat"
  status = 301
  force = true

nginx

server {
  listen 80;
  listen 443 ssl;
  server_name www.yourdomain.com;
  return 301 https://yourdomain.com$request_uri;
}

Apache

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.yourdomain\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://yourdomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]

Cloudflare

In “Rules” > “Redirect Rules”, create a new rule:

Match: hostname www.yourdomain.com
Action: Dynamic redirect to https://yourdomain.com${uri_path}
Status code: 301

Verify the fix

Check that the non-canonical version redirects:

curl -I https://www.yourdomain.com/

You should see 301 Moved Permanently with a Location: header pointing to your canonical domain. Re-run orino audit to confirm the check passes.
