Google may index your site in two versions if you have missed to set up a canonical tag "<link rel="canonical" href="your main URL" />" and set up your preferred domain.
Most of the popular content management system, such as Wordpress, automatically adds this on script on htaccess by setting your correct domain on the admin panel. So here’s the code that you need to add in your htaccess file.
