Few notes about http, https, www and non-www

Nice post OP.

Another question, does it also matter the / at the end of Urls?

Is that another version of site?

Then you are saying www.domain.com/article1 is different from www.domain.com/article1/ ?

It's still the same version, it does not matter.

If your www. version get penalized, you can use non www version of your site as its fresh site. OP your signature is best in the forum.

What do you mean as fresh site?
 
I found this post because I was searching for the answer to a problem I have. I used Semrush to do a site audit and it identified over 300 problems with duplicate content. The problems were all to do with HTTP and HTTPS. The site is a wordpress site so can this be 'switched ' off so that all I see is http?

Good sharing, Thanks
Can you specify best ways redirecting? Is it htacess or wordpress plugins?

Add these lines to your .htaccess file to use HTTP only
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on
RewriteRule (.*) http://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]

Can you add specify code to use only HTTPS?
Thanks
