It is a best practice to take backup before you edit the .htaccess file. Do it only if you know what you are doing or consult a software engineer.

Copy the following script and paste it in the beginning of .htaccess file.

# BEGIN 301 redirect from example.com to www.example.com

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
RewriteRule ^ https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

# END 301 redirect from example.com to www.example.com

This video addresses the Redundant hostnames warning from google analytics that has following message:

Property example.com is receiving data from redundant hostnames. Some of the redundant hostnames are:
example.com
www.example.com
Redundant hostnames are counted as separate rows in reports, so hits that are going to the same page on your site from different hostnames will be split into multiple rows. With data split across multiple rows, traffic to specific pages will appear lower than it actually is.

To avoid this problem, consider setting up a 301 redirect from one of your redundant hostnames to the other, or create a search-and-replace filter that strips "www." from hostnames.

Google Tag Assistant Recordings can help you verify that your redirect is setup correctly, or that your filter is working as intended.
