To ensure that Webflow's automatic sitemap includes the www protocol, you can follow these steps:

  1. Log in to your Webflow account and navigate to your project dashboard.
  2. Click on the "Project Settings" tab in the left-hand sidebar.
  3. Under the "Hosting" section, find the "Domains" tab and click on it.
  4. If you haven't added the www version of your domain yet, click on the "Add domain" button and enter the domain with the www prefix (e.g., www.yourdomain.com).
  5. After adding the www version of your domain, make sure it is set as the default domain. You can do this by clicking the three-dot menu icon next to the domain and selecting "Set as default."
  6. Once the www version of your domain is set as the default, scroll down to the "Sitemap" section.
  7. Toggle the switch to enable the automatic sitemap generation if it's not already enabled.
  8. Click on the "Configure" button next to the sitemap switch to open the sitemap settings.
  9. In the sitemap settings, you'll see a field labeled "Sitemap domain." Make sure the www version of your domain is selected from the dropdown menu.
  10. Save your changes, and Webflow will automatically generate a sitemap that includes the www protocol.

By following these steps, you can ensure that the automatic sitemap generated by Webflow includes the www protocol. This is important for SEO purposes, as it helps search engines properly crawl and index your website's pages.
