Thanks for the assistance.

Okay Mark, I went to http://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/website/htaccess/force-www-htaccess

and used their second code example to make the changes. here is the code, and I just entered my url in the place of example as stated in the directions.

#Force non-www:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.example\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://example.com/$1 [L,R=301]

Yes it is HostGator Mark with 25 sites on the shared hosting.

How do I fix this?

Look at your waterfall on GTmetrix. You have two seconds of lag with a redirect from non-www to www, which you shoild fix. And you have two seconds of TTFB from the host.

I’m using a header banner to try and increase my conversion rate. Is this the cause of the 2 second delay?
