Hello everyone,
In Analytics there is a warning like
"Property xxxx xxxxx is receiving data from redundant hostnames. Some of the redundant hostnames are:
example.com
www.example.com
Redundant hostnames are counted as separate rows in reports, so hits that are going to the same page on your site from different hostnames will be split into multiple rows. With data split across multiple rows, traffic to specific pages will appear lower than it actually is.
To avoid this problem, consider setting up a 301 redirect from one of your redundant hostnames to the other, or create a search-and-replace filter that strips "www." from hostnames.
Google Tag Assistant Recordings can help you verify that your redirect is setup correctly, or that your filter is working as intended.
My question is:
1- To avoid this problem where should we do 301 redirect, on hosting or on CMS's admin? (CMS is not wordpress) Or is there any other solution apart from 301 redirect? (our primary domain is www.example.com)
2- Is this warning related to the properties on search console? Because in search console there are two properties:
1- example.com 2-https://www.example.com/ I added the second one to see the robots.txt file long time ago. Now, i dont need it. How can i remove the second one? Because it is not showing any information, i mean, when i click on this property (https://www.example.com/) on search console, it is browsing smt and this browsing never ends.
Thank you.
