About www Redirect Checker

? What is the www Redirect Checker Tool?

The www Redirect Checker on pcjow.com is a free online tool that checks whether a website properly redirects between www and non-www versions of a domain (e.g., www.example.com vs example.com). Proper redirection is important for SEO, domain consistency, and avoiding duplicate content issues.

⚙️ How Does It Work?

When you enter your domain, the tool tests both versions—www.domain.com and domain.com—to determine:

  • If a 301 or 302 redirect is in place

  • Whether both versions point to the same final URL

  • If there is a redirect loop, broken redirect, or no redirect at all

This allows website owners to ensure that their site is correctly configured for one preferred version.

? Who Should Use It?

This tool is useful for:

  • Website owners checking SEO and canonicalization

  • Web developers validating server-side redirects

  • SEO professionals avoiding duplicate content issues

  • Agencies ensuring proper domain structure for clients

  • Anyone who wants to enforce a consistent domain version
