Hi
I'm working on an eCommerce site and don't have direct access to the CMS. I had requested developers to provide me a facilty to 301 via htaccess however this is working slight differently. I need guidance from experts whether it's okay or not:
Old Page: example.com/old
Target New Page: example.com/new
After Implementing the redirect, It redirects to an intermediate page or in other words, The same target URL with a question mark added:
example.com/new? (notice the question mark in the new URL)
This intermediate page has a canonical tag for the exact target URL.
So,
if I 301 redirect example.com/old
to example.com/new? (Intermediate page)
and If the intermediate page example.com/new? has a canonical tag for the exact target URL (example.com/new), Will I be able to pass the link juice and authority of old page to the new page?
