“www” Version Not Loading Securely

Issue

If https://yourdomain.com works but https://www.yourdomain.com fails to load securely, it’s likely because the SSL certificate was issued for the root domain only.

Solution

When issuing or renewing your SSL, ensure both versions — yourdomain.com and www.yourdomain.com — are included. Alternatively, redirect all “www” traffic to the secure non-www version by adding a redirect rule in .htaccess.

Tip

Keep your domain structure consistent. Whether you choose “www” or not, redirect all traffic to a single secure version for better SEO and user trust.
