      We recently migrated our site to HTTPS:?  In the past, we went with http://www.

      What is the recommended canonical variation corresponding to these changes?

      • http://
      • http://www.
      • https://
      • https://www.

      Thank you!

      Erin

          If you did a 301 redirect, you do not need a canonical. If I were to use a canonical, I would use the https://www version, since you had the www before.
