When I go to website.com/folder, my website instantaneously goes to www.website.com/folder (I can’t tell if there is a / at the end of the url, because it happens so fast) and then it goes back to website.com/folder/.
The website does not redirect when I simply go to website.com/folder/ (with the / at the end).
I followed redirect www to non-www digitalocean guide but it is frustrating that my website goes from non-www to www then back again only for this instance.
Can anyone offer any advice as to how to make my website not do this behavior?
Thank you

Hey all,
Such redirects are usually experienced when you have a misconfiguration in your .htaccess file or as a whole your Apache configuration somewhere.
To avoid such situations, I’ll recommend to avoid using too much Rewrite rules for single purposes but rather try to find a Rewrite solution for multiple scenarios.
