    Hello,

    I’ve just noticed on google search console that my homepage is not being indexed because ”
    Page is not indexed: Duplicate, Google chose different canonical than user” most likely due to the website being registered before. I’ve put what they are saying below.

    Indexing
    User-declared canonical: https://carpinon.co.uk/
    Google-selected canonical: http://www.carpinon.co.uk/

    It looks as though google is ignoring my user-declared canonical. I’ve tried setting a 301 redirect from http://www.carpinon.co.uk/ to https://carpinon.co.uk/ but rank math isn’t allowing it and is saying “Please add at least one valid source URL”

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting us and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

    Rank Math doesn’t handle domain/server-level redirection. The best way to redirect your site from www to non-www is by adding rules in your .htaccess.

    Here’s a guide you can follow to achieve this redirection:

    Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.

    Thank you.
