Regarding TalosIntelligence Redundant Hostname

Hi XYZ,

We received the following message from TalosIntelligence Google Analytics (GA) account:

--------------------------------------------------
Your website is receiving data from redundant hostnames. Some of the redundant hostnames are:

talosintelligence.com
www.talosintelligence.com

Redundant hostnames are counted as separate rows in reports, so hits that are going to the same page on your site from different hostnames will be split into multiple rows. With data split across multiple rows, traffic to specific pages will appear lower than it actually is.
--------------------------------------------------

To avoid this problem, consider setting up a 301 redirects from the non-www version of website (https://talosintelligence.com/) to the www version (https://www.talosintelligence.com/).

We had also mentioned similar issue in our On-page Recommendation sheet on G-drive.
Please check the online sheet (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1nXZOStObgg5fG_n1cPZ8_7Nu22Qwn2irbMypA_VXvBQ/edit#gid=440601647) & refer point #3 (Preferred Domain Version) under first tab named 'On-Page Recomm'.

Please do the needful and let us know if you have any questions.

Regards,
Keven
