301 redirects(.htaccess) - http to https + www to non-www + 'index.php' to '/'

I have gone through a lot of articles on 301 redirects(.htaccess), but haven't found any which could help on all 3 redirects as I mentioned in the title of this question (http to https + www to non-www + 'index.php' to '/').

What I have tried so far(but unable to achieve the desired result):

.htaccess file

RewriteEngine on

#redirect http to https plus www to non-www
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\. [NC]
#RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(?:www\.)?(.+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) https://%1%{REQUEST_URI} [NE,L,R=301]
#redirect /index.php to /
#RewriteRule ^index\.php$ / [L,R=301]

<IfModule mod_expires.c>
ExpiresActive On
ExpiresByType image/jpg "access 1 year"
ExpiresByType image/jpeg "access 1 year"
ExpiresByType image/gif "access 1 year"
ExpiresByType image/png "access 1 year"
ExpiresByType text/css "access 1 month"
ExpiresByType text/html "access 1 month"
ExpiresByType application/pdf "access 1 year"
ExpiresByType text/x-javascript "access 1 month"
ExpiresByType application/x-shockwave-flash "access 1 month"
ExpiresByType image/x-icon "access 1 year"
ExpiresDefault "access 1 month"
</IfModule>

<IfModule mod_headers.c>
  <FilesMatch "\.(js|css|xml|gz)$">
    Header append Vary: Accept-Encoding
  </FilesMatch>
</IfModule>

<ifModule mod_gzip.c>
mod_gzip_on Yes
mod_gzip_dechunk Yes
mod_gzip_item_include file .(html?|txt|css|js|php|pl)$
mod_gzip_item_include handler ^cgi-script$
mod_gzip_item_include mime ^text/.*
mod_gzip_item_include mime ^application/x-javascript.*
mod_gzip_item_exclude mime ^image/.*
mod_gzip_item_exclude rspheader ^Content-Encoding:.*gzip.*
</ifModule>

This works fine, only when it comes to http to https, but all three redirects don't work at once, If I try different-different solutions, I get Error Too many redirects

You can use the following htaccess 

RewriteEngine on

#redirect http to https plus www to non-www
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\. [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(?:www\.)?(.+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) https://%1%{REQUEST_URI} [NE,L,R=301]
#redirect /index.php to /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ / [L,R=301]

Edit :

If you are using cloudflare then you will need to replace the %{HTTPS} variable with Cloudflare url scheme check variable %{HTTP:CF-Visitor} .

Replace this line

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off [OR]

with

RewriteCond %{HTTP:CF-Visitor} '"scheme":"http"' [OR]

Make sure to clear your browser cache before testing this change.

Try this :

RewriteEngine on 

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\. [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^  https://example.com%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
RewriteRule ^index\.php / [R=301,L]

The rules above will match both https://www and http://www and all http:// and force them into https://without-wwww and also will ignore only https://without-www.

last line will remove index in URI.

Note: clear browser cache the test
