I have deployed an app on heroku - appsparkler.heroku.com and created a custom domain for it - appsparkler.com
Then, from goDaddy, where I have purchased this domain name appsparkler.com, I forward with masking to appsparkler.heroku.com and redirect 301 (Permanent). Screenshot



Then, I made changes to the DNS ZONE FILE where I added CNAME and A Host as per a blog I found on the internet.





This works fine and when I visit appsparkler.com I am redirected with masking and can also visit the various links with the URL changing to the link I click on. However, when I browse the webapp with appsparkler.com i.e. without the www, I can go to the various links; however, the links in the address bar don't get updated. For comparision, I have added screenshot of address bar when on home page, first with appsparkler.com and then with appsparkler.com. We can see that /home doesn't reflect in second one. Moreover, even the favicon.ico doesn't appear in the second one (without www) as we can see...





I have tried searching a lot and also tried trial and errors with different settings and looked for solutions on the web and nothing worked.

Please help. Thank you in advance.

Reference lifesforlearning.com/heroku-with-godaddy/
In the FORWARD AND MASKING section (which is under SETTINGS >> Forwarding), I was forward(ing) with masking (as you can see in the screenshot in the question above) to the herokuapp >> appsparkler.herokuapp.com. I changed that to forward(without masking) to www.appsparkler.com as you can see in the screenshot below.
