Do I need to redirect my CDN subdomain www version to the non-www
I just uploaded some images to a CDN that is available under:
http://subdomain.example.com/image/filename.jpg
So I need to make any redirect as I do for the main domain? In that case I redirect the non-www version to the www version and it's the preferred URL in Webmaster tools.
Is it the same for subdomains? I mean do I have to create a CNAME for the http://www.subdomain.example.com
and redirect it to http://subdomain.example.com
or I'm fine with only the non-www version?
What is the proper SEO friendly workaround here? Do I need to care about the ww version of the CDN subdomain?
There's no need to redirect a CDN since Google will not treat resources as page content and therefore if resources are accessible in several ways it will have no bearing on the page. You should use the URL that you prefer to use and put this to rest.
In addition to Simon's answer...
Is www.subdomain.example.com
even accessible? There's no point creating a CNAME record for www
just so you can redirect it. Users aren't expecting www.subdomain.example.com
to be available in the same way they might expect www.example.com
to be (but neither are they likely to type it).
