Is the presence of a "www.www" before the domain name in my Webflow site something I should be concerned about in relation to my recently expired domain?
The presence of "www.www" before the domain name in your Webflow site can be concerning, especially if it's related to your recently expired domain. Here are a few points to consider:
Check DNS settings: Verify the DNS settings for your domain to ensure that they are correctly configured. This includes checking the A records, CNAME records, and any other records associated with your domain. The misconfiguration of these records can result in the presence of "www.www" before the domain.
Examine custom code: If you have implemented custom code on your website, such as JavaScript or CSS, ensure that it doesn't interfere with the domain name rendering. Improperly written code can cause such issues.
Review Webflow settings: In Webflow, there are specific settings related to the domain name. Go to your project settings, select the "Hosting" tab, and ensure that the domain name is correctly entered without any additional characters like "www.www".
Redirects and URL canonicalization: Review any redirects or URL canonicalization settings that might be in place. Improper configuration can result in the "www.www" prefix. Ensure that any redirects are set up to the correct domain and that any canonicalization settings are correctly configured.
Contact Webflow support: If you have thoroughly checked the DNS settings, custom code, Webflow settings, and redirects without finding a solution, it's advisable to reach out to Webflow support. They can assist you in troubleshooting the issue and help ensure that your domain name is correctly displayed.
Remember that a correct and properly functioning domain name is crucial for search engine optimization and overall user experience. Ensure that your domain name is correctly displaying without any additional characters or prefixes like "www.www."
