Have you noticed that when some people share the home page link of a website, it is often in the www.example.com/index.php format? To have a clean home page URL, try the following in your .htaccess file.

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^.*/index\.php
RewriteRule ^(.*)index.php$ /$1 [R=301,L]

If you need help on editing an .htaccess file, just follow the tips.
