Www and non www versions of the site: 301 redirects but I still get impressions on the wrong version

[micvitale]

hallo,

I moved from www.bastabollette.it to bastabollette.it, setting a 301 redirect.

If I check google search console,  I still get impressions and looks like all old www pages are stille indexed. (see attached)

why? how can I fix this?

Bene!

I just crawl your site and i found that almost everywhere links are correct. PM me in private to sent you links that are http://www. or https://www.

BUT - the problem is that there isn't redirect 301 for the PDFs... Example: https://www.bastabollette.it/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/MODULO-DISDETTA-CONTRATTO-CON-NOTE1.pdf should redirect to https://bastabollette.it/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/MODULO-DISDETTA-CONTRATTO-CON-NOTE1.pdf but redirect won't happen and www return "200 OK". This is serious bug and affect all PDFs. Situation is even worse because this is also for CSS and JSs: https://www.bastabollette.it/wp-content/plugins/jetpack/css/jetpack.css?ver=3.8.1 or https://www.bastabollette.it/cdn-cgi/scripts/zepto.min.js Yeah... could be worse? YES! Images too https://www.bastabollette.it/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/logo2.png or https://www.bastabollette.it/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/Cattura-002.jpg

So why this is important? You was need to make unconditional sitewide 301 redirect to www to non-www. Your redirect is partial and seems that affect only html files. If you're in Apache just need to do this in .htaccess.

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

If you're on other servers - LiteSpeed, nginx or IIS just contact me and i will provide commands for them.

hey Peter!

sto molto bene grazie!

grazie moltissime for your answer.

1. yes I already set  preferred domain in SearchConsole

2. I did not set canonical pages to new domain BUT i 301 redirected all traffic for www to non-www. isn't that enough?

3. yes I changed wordpress so that default is now non-www

4. I am gradually changing all the links to the internal pages as well as all assets to non-www (but it's huge since I am doing manually.

Anyway since I 'told' google that my site is now non-www  (submitting new site maps, setting up 301s and the configurations above) I really can't understand why google still indexes the old non-www.

Any hint?

Thank you again

Ciao Giorgio! Come stai?

Did you use set preferred domain in SearchConsole? https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/44231?hl=en
You also need to set canonical pages to new domain (non-www). And also change in WordPress that default is now non-www. And change link to all pages (internal) from www to non-www. And after this you need to change link to all assets (JS/CSS/Imgs/PDFs/etc) to non-www.

I bet that your move was partial because some of point above isn't make correct.
