I need HTTPS for security and because it's a browser standard and I need a CNAME DNS record and a www wildcard redirect in my .htaccess file for a certain CDN.

I get about 2 seconds delay in a Google Page Speed Insights (GPSI) test due to not avoiding the following multiple redirects:

  • http://example.com (630 ms) →
  • https://example.com (480 ms) →
  • http://www.example.com (630 ms) →
  • https://www.example.com (480 ms) →

How to avoid multiple redirects in a Content Management System (CMS) agnostic way?

Update

  • I think that the HTTP to HTTPS redirect was automatically created by LetsEncrypt.
  • I did create the following wildcard redirect in my .htaccess file after being instructed to do so by a hosting provider's staff member:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.com/$1 [L,R=301]

  • Redirects usually have very little to do with your content management system. They are usually implemented in web server configuration files outside of the content management system. Sometimes they are implemented through a control panel with your DNS settings. How have you actually implemented these redirects?
