I have heard that one redirect will lose 1% to10% link juice. I would like use redirects as less as possible.
I see some website use one redirect to redirect from http://www.example.com
to https://example.com
.
What is the best way for me to use one direct to always redirect to https://www.example.com
?
Pretty easy. you just need a page rule such as:
If the URL matches: example.com/*
Then settings are: Forwarding URL, https://www.example.com/$1
If you also want to catch non-SSL traffic hitting the www subdomain then you can also additionally define the page rule:
If the URL matches: http://www.example.com/*
Then settings are: Forwarding URL,https://www.example.com/$1
As only one or the other will ever be triggered you are not introducing any extra redirects having both in place.
