I am busy working on increasing organic traffic to my site so have embarked on some SEO stuff. I have decided to use the www as my site default. I however don't want bots to crawl the non www as it causes duplicate meta descriptions and duplicate title tags error. I have searched and this topic is generally not well documented. Is this setting done in robots.txt or .htaccess or otherwise and would anyone be able to kindly point me in the right direction?
Can I also assume that Screaming Frog spider will crawl immediate changes, while Google may take a while to reflect any changes made?
Site is https://www.ic-express.co.za
Error is as per Ubersuggest
41 pages with duplicate meta descriptions
