: Https:// redirect to https://www in NGINX How do you redirect all non-www links to my website to https://www. I know that there are a lot of solutions for .htaccess but I haven't been able

@Margaret670

Since my last answer using the "if" statement is not recommended in most cases, I came up with another solution which seems to be working perfectly.

What I did was create another server block with www in the server_name and had my other server blocks redirect to it.

server {
listen 80;
listen [::]:80 default_server ipv6only=on;
return 301 www.example.com$request_uri; }

# HTTPS — proxy all requests to the Node app
server {
# Enable HTTP/2
listen 443 ssl http2;
listen [::]:443 ssl http2;
server_name example.com;
return 301 www.example.com$request_uri;
# Use the Let’s Encrypt certificates
...
}

server {
# Enable HTTP/2
listen 443 ssl http2;
listen [::]:443 ssl http2;
server_name example.com;
# Use the Let’s Encrypt certificates
...
}

So far what I came up with is a simple if statement under port 443 to check if the domain is non-www and then redirect to www

server {
# Enable HTTP/2
listen 443 ssl http2;
listen [::]:443 ssl http2;
server_name example.com;
if ($host = example.com) {
return 301 www.example.com$request_uri; }

# Use the Let’s Encrypt certificates
...


I'm no expert but I don't think this is the best solution because it will be doing an if statement for every request if I'm right?
