When Google finds duplicate pages, it can hurt your search ranking.
Unfortuneatly, Google sees www and non-www pages as two different pages. So its good to put in a redirect so only one adress gets indexed.
In the .htaccess add the following lines
## ORGANIC WEBS - rewrite www to non-www to fix canonical issues ## RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.mywebsite.com.au [NC] RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://mywebsite.com.au/$1 [L,R=301]
