Question

When people enter a URL into a web brower, what percentage include the 'www' nowadays?

Answer 1

I still include them, and my kids think I am old fashioned for doing that

Answer 2

Depends on what the URL is. Some I have found if you put in the www it doesn't take you to the right one. The same if you leave it out. So you can't put a percentage on it and it goes to show that you must use the right URL address.

Answer 3

I don't.

Answer 4

i never put it in and have only come accross about 10 addresses in the last 10 years that didnt work without the www

Answer 5

Adding 'www' is really not needed for a URL today.  Just type in the domain name like 'yahoo' and press Ctrl + Enter.  The server(s) will do the look up and use the correct URL. Using those keys may automatically add 'www' to URL in some browsers.

See 'www' is deprecated:
