Redirect Chain
-
Describe tu pregunta en detalle. ¡Cuanta más información proporciones, mejor! Ayuda a dar contexto a una gran respuesta.
in Moz I did the analysis of my web and it tells me that I have a redirect in chain: The redirect chains often occur when several redirecting rules are accumulated, like redirecting a 'www' to a URL other than www or a page not secure to a secure page / https: Look for any recurring string that can be rewritten as a single rule. Take special care with chains 301/302 in any combination, since 302 in the mix could affect the ability of 301 to pass the value of the link. I thank you for your help in solving

Miguel,
You are quite right that a redirect chain can be caused by moving to HTTPS. The problem comes when you have redirects already in place and then you move to HTTPS. So for example:
http://domain.com/location1 Redirects to http://domain.com/location2 because you have moved a piece of content.
If you then install an SSL and move to HTTPS then the route becomes:
http://domain.com/location1>http://domain.com/location2>https://domain.com/location2
So there are now 3 URLs involved.
This is a simple example with only 3 URLs - I have seen cases where there are 5 or 6 because someone left an HTTP link on the page. I have also seen redirect loops where there is an endless chain which cannot be resolved. In that case, the page just crashes.
Best practice is to scrap the first redirect and replace it with
http://domain.com/location1>https://domain.com/location2>
Depending on who you read there is a small loss of link juice when passing through a 301 (permanent redirect) and a 302 (temporary redirect) so it is important to have as few as possible. It also makes perfect sense to have as few calls to the server as possible.

Nigel

RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^jacksonvilleacservice.com
RewriteRule ^index.html$ http://www.jacksonvilleacservice.com/ [L,R=301] Nothing is changing. What am I doing wrong? I have given it several weeks but report stays the same. Also according to webmasters tools they can't see this as duplicate content. What am I doing wrong?0 -

Temp redirects of homepage URLs
Working on a site for a client and the CMS provider has all variants of their domain (.co.uk & .com and / and http:// etc) temp redirecting to the /default.aspx homepage. I know in theory that this means no Google Juice is being passed to the final location page, does this mean that all backlinks that point to their domain are not actually passing Juice onto the homepage? Thanks

Correct use of Canonical link vs 301 redirect
Hi All, Seeking yet more advice. SEOMOZ tools have told me I have duplicate content on one of my sites and I am keen to clean this up. I am not to familiar with the following so thought I would ask. The duplicate content is shown on : www.mysite.com www.mysite.com/index.html Obviously I only see index.html when I check the code so what is the best method of resolving the duplicate content, Canonical or 301? Can you give me an example 🙂 Thanks all

Use 301 redirects when deleting old products?
I'm removing old products (wines) from my site, and I've been using 301 redirects for each product page back to the winery page. My question is, am I using best practice? I want people who search for these now nonexistent products to go to the winery page where they will see what is now available. But does google approve? I've also tried leaving the product's page intact but saying that it is no longer available and putting a link in the text that points to the winery page. Which is better, in the eyes of the god google? Thanks!
