.htaccess optimization tip!!

Hello,

I got errors from Google PageSpeed Insights ‘Avoid Landing Page Redirects’. The .htaccess code causes for 2 redirects instead of one.

Browser -> http://[domain].com -> (redirect) https://[domain].com -> (redirect) https://www.[domain].com

That gives you 2 redirects.

Instead of using

# BEGIN HTTPS Redirection Plugin
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
</IfModule>
# END HTTPS Redirection Plugin

Try to use this code:

# BEGIN HTTPS Redirection Plugin
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
</IfModule>
# END HTTPS Redirection Plugin

It now uses one redirect instead of 2.
