Force www. prefix in URIs

For SEO, it’s best if you force WITH or WITHOUT the www. prefix for your site URL. And it’s as easy as adding a couple lines of code to your .htaccess file:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on

#Enable these lines on prod server to require www. prefix
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^yoururl.com
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.yoururl.com/$1 [R=301,L]
</IfModule>
