URL Canonicalization for SEO

[dchen97]

https://oppiafoundation.org and https://www.oppiafoundation.org should resolve to the same URL, but currently do not.

Hi @dchen97 ! I think there are a few ways of achieving this: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/139066?hl=en However, I am not exactly clear on how to proceed here. How is it done on Oppia, @seanlip ?

I think it's set through the old version of the search console, per this doc: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/44231

@dchen97 I can probably do the same for the Foundation page. Do we want the www version or the non-www one to be canonical?

[dchen97]

Using www or not doesn't really matter so long as it remains consistent across the site. Perhaps since a lot of users tend to use and expect www domains by default, we can go that route?
