 * The way to fix it is to not link to `http://backdoorpodcast.com/`
 * What you’re seeing is entirely normal.
 * If someone goes to `http://backdoorpodcast.com/` your server has a redirect to
   force them to the HTTPS version of the site `https://backdoorpodcast.com` and
   your server then has a redirect to the www. version so they finally wind up at`
   https://www.backdoorpodcast.com/`
 * That’s totally normal, so instead of giving out `http://backdoorpodcast.com/`
   as a link to your site, just give out `https://www.backdoorpodcast.com/` and 
   then they won’t be going through any redirect.

 * Ok but google developers report it as an issue and something that slows down 
   the website

 * They are correct, but only when visiting `http://backdoorpodcast.com/` so make
   sure people aren’t visiting that, and definitely make sure you aren’t running
   any speed tests on that.
