The following .htaccess technique redirects qualified requests to the https and www versions of your web pages. Add to your site’s root .htaccess file:
# Canonical https/www
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
This code does the following:
Checks if mod_rewrite is available
Check if the request does not include www
Checks if HTTPS is off,
No editing is required with this code; it’s entirely plug-n-play.
