Should I use 301 redirection from example.com to www.example.com or not?

    There is an popular advice, that if you want to use www.example.com, you should use 301 permanent redirect from example.com to it.

    But if I already has canonical tags that indicate www.example.com as the main page? Do I still need it? Because I notices it may delay the page for a few seconds because of the redirection.

    It's up to you. But when you make 301 redirection, you say to searchengines something like - hey, this page is no longer avaliable, remove it from your index pls
    and when you use canonical, you say smth like - this page is still avaliable, but please don't index it. Please index the other page, but this page is still reachable for people and i don't want to delete it

    So in my case, I will use canonical tags instead of 301 redirection to save a little bit user waiting time and server resources.
