Does publishing to both the "www.xyz.com" and just "xyz.com" hurt my SEO?

Hi, Let’s say I have the site example.com- in my “publish” drop down, I have the option to publish to “example.com” and to publish to “www.example.com”. Should I publish to both? Does it hurt my SEO to publish to both (because they’re identical)? If I shouldn’t publish to both, which one should I publish to?

Thank you

Yes. Choose the primary one and redirect the other.

@webdev is right, take a look at this article to prevent this.

I should have added that this is handled for you automatically with webflow hosting when you choose the default domain.

BTW: welcome to the forums!
