If a user wants to know the preference of your domain, then the user must visit the Google webmaster tool. If the user does not create an account in Google webmaster tools, then first sign up and creates an account in Google webmaster tools then follow the guide.

Now the user must visit Google webmaster tool, click on the setting icon which is present on the right top corner of the screen as you can see in the image given below. But it was in the old Google webmaster tool, now it removed from the new Google Search Console.

If we are using www in front of the website domain then in technical terms, it reacts as a hostname which is going to help with the flexibility of our DNS and restrict all types of cookies. It provides a better understanding between a subdomain and multiple subdomains. However, on the other side if we are not using www in front of our site domain then this term will be known as the naked domain and it does not have any technical advantage or disadvantage.

Now let’s create a better understanding between these two. Now we must go too much deeper and look at their pros and cons

Www pros

• It is the standard way to give the website URL. And this trend has been running for a very long time. It is also very popular and understood. It looks slightly authentic than a non-www URL.
• The most and the advantage benefit 84 www RL is it helps to set specific cookies with your subdomains.

www cons

• The basic disadvantage that the URL looks longer and people do not want to type www during searching any website.

Non-www pros

• The non-www domain is quite easy to remember and look simple and short.
• In today’s era, people do not want to type www so they directly type website name and that might have come first in search results.
• Non-www will not only save your time and space, but it also saves in character space that will directly save 4 bytes of bandwidth data.
• If the user doesn’t want to save or restrict your cookies for the website then not required to prefer www domain

Non-www cons

• There are a lot of cons directly we can say that it does not gain all the benefits that www URL.
• It does not save any type of cookies. It only saves cookies only for the root domain.
• The User cannot redirect traffic to the non-www website to another subdomain.

So, at last, we got a simple conclusion that there will be no high difference between www and non-www URLs. The small difference only varies at that time if the user is using a used website that contains multiple subdomains in it. So if the user not using www URL, then the user not able to create cookies for their subdomain the cookies only create for the root domain only. So if study in terms of technology in the deepest way, then you got a slight difference between these two that means www URL having some advantage as compared to non-www URL.
