Www. or naked url?

[nsereke]

Hi everyone, I am about to start a new WordPress site and debating whether to use www or naked URL for the URL structure. Using naked URL makes sense from a branding and minimalistic perspective but I am reading that using naked URL might have some technical deficiencies. Specifically, cookie issues and DNS can't be cname.

Are these technical deficiencies still valid when using naked url?

Would appreciate any feedback on this!

Cheers

Hi,

There is no technical SEO difference between using www or naked URL.
Use one or another thinking about user experience and/or brading.

Best luck.

Hi Gaston, thanks for the response. Yes, I agree that there are no differences from an SEO perspective but my question was, are there any limitations when using naked url when it comes to cookies and creating new cnames. Basically, does www. scale better in the future or have these deficiencies been resolved when it comes to naked urls.

Cheers.

I would definitely make sure you have canonical URLs set up so both www and naked URLs are not considered duplicate content.
