      Hi

      Just checked a  diagnostic report in moz and we are getting duplicate page content for

      http://domain.co.uk

      and

      http://www.domain.co.uk

      attached is the screen shot

      Does anyone know how to fix this in magento?

      Thanks

        Perhaps my situation was different, but I just told our hosting company (bluehost) to make the domain.com redirect to the www.domain.com and it solved the problem. Would a similar solution not work for you?

        Best of luck,

        Ruben

          Do a 301 to one.

          Be sure that your whole website uses just one of the 2. Pick from the www or non-www one.

          As long as you can access both, Moz will keep showing you that you have duplicate content.

            Dennis is correct you must select just one for consistency. As you are using Magento this redirect tutorial may be useful for you:

            http://kb.siteground.com/how_to_redirect_magento_to_open_through_www/

            Don't forget to set your preferred domain in Google webmaster tool: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/44231?hl=en

            As a general .htaccess redirect this may help others:

            Add the www.
            RewriteEngine On
            RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^yourdomain.com [NC]
            RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.yourdomain.com/$1 [L,R=301]

            Remove the www.
            RewriteEngine On
            RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^yourdomain.com$ [NC]
            RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://yourdomain.com/$1 [L,R=301]

              Great thanks for the answers. Does it matter which one you choose?

                Now this may cause some debate, personally I prefer the www version, you can see that moz prefers the non www version and there is a article here http://www.searchenginejournal.com/canonicalization-seo-should-i-use-www-or-not/6950/ that may help you make your own decision.

                Basically choose one and stick with it.
