Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Whole website moved to https://www. HTTP/2 version 3 years ago.

When we review log files, it is clear that - for the home page - GoogleBot continues to only access via HTTP/1.1 protocol

• Robots file is correct (simply allowing all and referring to https://www. sitemap

• Sitemap is referencing https://www. pages including homepage

• Hosting provider has confirmed server is correctly configured to support HTTP/2 and provided evidence of accessing via HTTP/2 working

• 301 redirects set up for non-secure and non-www versions of website all to https://www. version

• Not using a CDN or proxy

• GSC reports home page as correctly indexed (with https://www. version canonicalised) but does still have the non-secure version of website as the referring page in the Discovery section. GSC also reports homepage as being crawled every day or so.

Totally understand it can take time to update index, but we are at a complete loss to understand why GoogleBot continues to only go through HTTP/1.1 version not 2

Possibly related issue - and of course what is causing concern - is that new pages of site seem to index and perform well in SERP ... except home page. This never makes it to page 1 (other than for brand name) despite rating multiples higher in terms of content, speed etc than other pages which still get indexed in preference to home page.

Any thoughts, further tests, ideas, direction or anything will be much appreciated!

I have a question about reusing an already 301 redirected URL

Till now I never reused an URLs that has been already redirected with a 301 redirect. However, I just started working on a website where in past they created a lot of 301 redirects without thinking about the future, and now certain URLs, that are currently redirected with a 301, would be very useful (exact match) and needed (for some of the most important keywords for this specific business), to maintain an optimal, homogeneous and "beautiful" URL structure.

Has any of you ever reused a URL that was previously redirected with a 301 redirect?

If yes what are your experiences with it? Can content on the reused URL (that was previously 301 redirected and than the redirect removed) normally rank if the page is reestablished and the redirect is removed (and you do great content, on page, internal linking, backlinking, .... ) or is such an URL risky / not recommended / "burned" forever and not recommended to be reused again... especially for very important keywords since it present the exact match ?!

Thank you very much for all your help!

Regards

How do i sync my yelp on my Moz Local?

#Yelp

I am working on an e-commerce niche website and I aim to rank higher on Google to drive more traffic to my website. Any suggestions?

Hi all SEO experts, if a website is brand new, so published in the last 3 months- new domain name and website design.

We have rebranded recently, using a new domain as entered new business partnership, there doesn’t seem to be much guidance on this at all, from various SEO websites, so our question is would you delay publishing new blog posts / content marketing as frequently because the company website is brand new?

So would SEO’s decrease the frequency of publication of blog posts, because the website is new? Or perhaps it does not matter, and would still post every week as you would if the website has been live for a long time?

So, in nutshell, what we are wondering is, is the “Google Sandbox” still in use?

We have pages on our shopify site example - https://shop.example.com/collections/cast-aluminum-plaques/products/cast-aluminum-address-plaque

That we want to put a rel canonical tag on to direct to our wordpress site page - https://www.example.com/aluminum-plaques/

We have links form the wordpress page to the shop page, and over time ahve found that google has ranked the shop pages over the wp pages, which we do not want.

So we want to put rel canonical tags on the shop pages to say the wp page is the authority.

I hope that makes sense, and I would appreciate your feeback and best solution.

Thanks!

Is that possible?

Hi,
we run a tourism information website about a region in italy, and each year, during special occasions such as christmas, easter and so on we publish an article with a "what to do on Christmas / Easter / .... in the Langhe" (collecting events, activities, etc.).

Is it better to "reuse" the old articles and change only the year in the title and of course the content (providing that we are gonna keep the URL without year), or to publish a new one?

thanks!

I have a problem on page speed insight

My portal is created on wordpress cms.
I deleted the alternative text of the image and still, if I put text instead of the image, that problem disappears. It's not something serious, but I like that everything is perfect
