Hi Kai,

 

We've just noticed an additional redirection scenario that isn't working as planned...

 

https://sitename.com is doing a two 301 redirections to https://www.sitename.com

 

When we check the flow, it's doing this...

 

https://sitename.com/

 

301 Moved Permanently

 

http://www.sitename.com/

 

301 Moved Permanently

 

https://www.sitename.com/

 

200 OK

 

Ideally we want to get it down to showing as a single 301 redirect.

 

Would we need an additional rule to handle that specific scenario?

 

Any advice would be much appreciated (as always!!)
