: Redirection from non-www to www through HTTPS takes longer than HTTP I have enabled SSL for my site in the vhost file. I also have the redirection for the non-www to www over port 80: <VirtualHost

I have enabled SSL for my site in the vhost file. I also have the redirection for the non-www to www over port 80:

<VirtualHost 62.210.85.6:80>
ServerName pretty-story.com
Redirect permanent / www.pretty-story.com/ </VirtualHost>


However it seems it takes a lot longer (about 2 seconds) to redirect from non-www to www over https.

So if I type pretty-story.com, it quickly resolves to www.pretty-story.com but if I type pretty-story.com it takes more than 2 seconds to resolve to www.pretty-story.com !

I tried to add the following :

<VirtualHost 62.210.85.6:443>
ServerName pretty-story.com
Redirect permanent / www.pretty-story.com/ </VirtualHost>


But then the website becomes inaccessible.

What should I do ?

Here's the results on pingdom (using Sweden because my CDN is only active in Europe):

www.pretty-story.com -> 874 ms
tools.pingdom.com/#!/8cyCy/https://www.pretty-story.com www.pretty-story.com -> 1.04s
tools.pingdom.com/#!/laUz9/http://www.pretty-story.com pretty-story.com -> 947 ms
tools.pingdom.com/#!/cohyrq/http://pretty-story.com https://pretty-story.com -> 2.51s !!!!!!!!!!!
