Hi James,

Are you seeing signs that this is slowing the impact of your link building? My thought is that you do not need to change anything here, I would leave it as is. Google looks at root domain URLs with and without trailing slashes as equivalent, see the resources below.

1. "Should we always add the final / or avoid it? Does it make a difference?" Answer: "There's no difference between them. (As opposed to not putting a slash on links into a directory, for example.)" (source)

2. "Rest assured that for your root URL specifically, http://example.com is equivalent to http://example.com/ and can’t be redirected even if you’re Chuck Norris." (Source - Google Webmasters Blog)

Hope this helps!
