Http Redirects to Https - then to Redirect 301
-
Searched - not seeing this exact issue(sorry if I'm wrong).
I'm my report I'm seeing that we have old URLs in the wild using http. Those requests come to our site, and then are redirected to the https version. However if this url does not exist, then there's another redirect 301 to the actual page.
This obviously causes a redirect chain. I've searched but don't see a clear answer to this. How can I avoid the chain? How can I go from the http to the new https URL without first incurring the double redirect?
"Look for any recurring chains that could be rewritten as a single rule. "
FWIW I don't see any http to https rewritecond's in my htaccess, and cannot trace where that redirect is generated from.
-
Its actually Magento, so htaccess should be where the http --> https redirect resides, but there's nothing there.

Hi there, if it's not on htaccess and you're on WordPress, check if you have redirect plugins? If not on those two, the redirect was probably done via code. I found this article, which may hopefully help you - https://www.webconfs.com/154/301-redirects-how-to-redirect-your-website/

How to build links for a domain name that is redirected to another url?
I'm helping a friend build links to his site because he recently moved across country. His primary domain isn't very SEO friendly (shef1.com) so he registered another domain (stephenshefrinphotography.com). Shef1.com has been around for awhile and has at least been crawled with a page rank of 1 so we decided to keep shef1.com as the main website and redirect stephenshefrinphotography.com to it. So for SEO sake I know it's best to at least have a keyword in your URL so I have been using the url stephenshefrinphotography.com in my link building efforts for local directories and blog comments. Is this the right way to go about this or should I be using the main url shef1.com? He had virtually no backlinks until I started helping him but the ones I have created over the last month are not showing up on the link analysis in my campaigns. I just want to make sure my efforts aren't in vain. Advice please. Thanks!

Do I get any link juice from a PHP header redirect from another site?
For example would: www.site-A.com/click-tracking.php?site=www.site-B.com contain any link juice? Would a 301 redirect be the simple solution?

Www. compared to http://
Hey guys! I'm pretty new to the community, and I had a quick question regarding URLs for my website. What would be the difference between using "http://" and "http://www." in my URL. I have done a little searching, but so far I haven't got a definite answer. Any input would be amazing, thanks again.

Are backlinks to a domain that redirects useless?
I am working on trying to get backlinks. We are currently redirecting a few Domains to our current domain name. One of the Domains that is redirecting is the main Domain, we will be advertising in the near future. Can I send backlinks to the redirected URL or does it only carry link juice if it is to the main Domain?
