My recently configured droplets are exhibiting some unnecessary redirects and I cannot figure out why.
End result should https://domain.com
So I need to rewrite www requests and non-https requests to https without the www.
Currently the opposite is happening, and adding an extra redirect which is costing about an extra 1 second.
So domain.com (307) -> https://domain.com (301) -> https://www.domain.com (200)
My NGINX server blocks looks like this:
server { server_name domain.com www.domain.com; return 301 https://$server_name$request_uri; }
server { listen 443 ssl;
ssl_certificate /path/to/fullchain.pem;
ssl_certificate_key /path/to/privkey.pem;
root /path/to/html;
index index.php;
server_name domain.com www.domain.com;
#additional configurations
}
Some additional information:
- SSL cert is for both non-www and www
- A name pointing to IP, with WWW CNAME pointing to domain.com.
- Total of 3 sites with the same configuration. Only 1 redirects properly. Incidentally it’s also the only site not currently pointing to Cloudflare DNS. I suspect this might be the source of my issues.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. This is the last roadblock to sub-second load times.

Try:
server {
#Redirecting to SSL site
listen 80;
listen [::]:80 ipv6only=on;
server_name domain.com;
location / {
return 301 https://$server_name$request_uri;
}
}
Try removing the additional www.domain.com under listen. If that doesn’t work and redirects don’t work from www.domain.com, add an additional block just for www.
