Open Site Explorer Messge - Mysite.com redirects to www.mysite.com

[jjimen03]

Hello All,

When I plug in my site's URL http://mysite.com ( Not my actual URL of-course) into the OpenSiteExplorer tool I get the following message:

"You entered the URL http://Mysite.com which redirects to http://www.Mysite.com/.
Because it's likely to have more accurate metrics, we're showing data for the redirected URL instead.
Click here to analyze http://Mysite.com instead?"

Not sure why I am getting this message. On my hosting server, I have defined my preferred domain to be the non-www. version. I have also used a Canonical Tag on Mysite.com/index.html file ( ). In addition, on Google Search Console ( Webmaster Tools ) , I have added both the www. and non-www. properties, where on both property settings, I have defined the non-www. version as my preferred one. Also, on my server, I have not implemented any 301 redirects at all.

So my questions are:

1. Why am I receiving this message when plugging in my non-www. URL version of my website into OpenSiteExplorer?

2. Is my DA or PA possibly being split up between the two versions as a result?

3. Should I be concerned?

4. How can I fix this?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Jorge,

Did you managed to sort this out? I have exact same issue on my domain too.

My message is like this.

You entered the URL https://a-fotografy.co.uk/ which redirects to http://www.a-fotografy.co.uk/. Because it's likely to have more accurate metrics, we're showing data for the redirected URL instead. Click here to analyze https://a-fotografy.co.uk/ instead?

**https://a-fotografy.co.uk/  **is my current domain. I'm not even sure why it is redirecting to my old domain.

Let me know if you managed to sort your issue and I see if I should do the same.

Thanks.

Regards,

Armands

1. You may receive this probably due broken redirects.

2. No.

3. Yes.

4. Check redirects. You can use cURL or wget (console apps). You also can use SC "Fetch & Render".

If you're afraid - PM me with link to make some tests.
