Got a new improved dedicated server but something is not right
-
Hi, i have bought a new and improved dedicated server but something is not right. The first two days it was fast, but now i am having trouble doing tests on it using
http://tools.pingdom.com/fpt/#!/tOBLrm0fR/www.in2town.co.uk
gtmetrix is having trouble accessing the site and when it does it comes up with 14 seconds and more.
here are the results
http://gtmetrix.com/reports/www.in2town.co.uk/NqOj98OV
everytime i contact the hosting company about it they say it is running fast and they do not see a problem but refuse to look at the history of this tool.
can anyone please let me know if my computer could be causing these problems or is it my hosting company that is at fault.
my site is www.in2town.co.uk

Thanks for that. i have notified them and it is running faster, so i will keep an eye on it. one of my major problems at the moment in the speed tool is it keeps coming up with Specify image dimensions which i have done in my joomla website and it also comes up with Optimize images, which i do as i use photoshop so i am a bit puzzled why it is saying these two things. But i am happy the speed is faster now after getting a new server, will keep testing it over the next few days.
thanks everyone

Diane,
It's loading up fast for me as well. The gtmetrix report now gives it a "B" grade with a page load time of 1.51 seconds which is pretty good.

thank you for this, i have sent them a message and hopefully they will get it sorted out, will keep you updated.

something is definitely not right.I think your DNS is not configured correctly, get your admin to check that it is resolving to the correct IP address. This probably changed where you moved to the dedicated server.

Hi Diane,
It loads quickly when I just checked it. Slow load times could be due to lots of things - have you had a look what Google Analytics says about your page load times out of interest?
Content > Site Speed > Overview
Have a look what the average reported is after setting it to the time period your new server has been live. How does this differ from your old servers average?

Changing permalinks in new wordpress website using regex in 301s?
Hi there I am working on a website and we would like to change the permalinks from product-category (replacing with Shop) and product to buy. Currently there are nearly 400 products and multiple categories. Although the website has just been indexed wondering if we need to do 301's? if we did would like to use regex to manage so redirect would be as example: mydomain.com/sub-domain/product-category/ redirecting to to mydomain.com/sub-domain/shop/ (I know you do not need to put in the domain but as an example) - could anyone give me the regex for this? Same for products: mydomain.com/sub-domain/product/sample-product redirect to mydomain.com/sub-domain/buy/sample-product thanks in anticipation

Should we re-use our old re-directed domain for a new wesbite ?
Hi One our clients has an old domain that has been redirected to another website of his. Now he is asking us to build a new website for that domain and direct it back. This is new website will be very relative to it's own old content and where it has been re-directed recently. I guess the only benefit of this would be taking advantage of the age of this domain. Do you recommend doing that or getting him a new domain ?

Does server location affect rankings?
Hey guys, I'm just wondering whether you can help me out here. We're considering moving our servers to a new country but are a little hesitant to what - if any - SEO impact it would have on our clients' sites. For instance, if all of our clients are UK-based but their server isn't, would that affect their rank in Google UK? Or is it simply just a case of whether moving a server would affect the site speed or not?

Has anyone seen direct improvement after April 23 by requesting reinclusion?
Using the open site explorer I have figured out that my former seo agency was buying name spam (mostly Asian sites)for my main keywords and did the same in a private network of blogs. I don't speak any eastern languages and seo Super Dude has left the planet. So... I don't really have much to report to the Google Webmaster folks. How much time - effort- cash do invest in removal requests vs, redo the whole darn site and hope for the best? All the best. Tom

301 redirect to new website
We are migrating to a new website that will be using entirely new URLs under the same domain as the old website. The old website is a custom PHP script and the new website uses Drupal. I know that I should use individual 301 redirects to the corresponding new pages. My question is just how to set up the hundreds of 301 redirects from the old website to the new one? Here is the process I've come up with. Please let me know if there is an easier and better way for this. Before actually changing to the new website: download an advanced report with all pages on this domain from OSE. Find corresponding pages on the new website Make the hundreds of 301 redirect lines in an .htaccess file with the following code: redirect 301 /oldurl.html http://domain.com/the-full-url Thanks in advance for your help!

How do I redirect non www pages to www on a windows server?
As the .htaccess file cannot be worked on, I added this php code 301 redirect if the URL does not contain a www on all the pages (small website - 10 pages) : header( "HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently" ); header( "Location: $location" ); I want to know if this is ok for SEO? Has anyone done this on a windows server? Or if you have any better methods, it would be great if you can share. Please help. Thanks.

Advice on SEO for videos on a streaming server
I am looking for some advice on video SEO when the video file is housed on a streaming server. An example page is below. The onlyvideo element on the page is a script reading in the filepath to the streaming server so I am not sure what the best course of action is. Currently, none of our videos are indexed. http://www.sei.cmu.edu/library/abstracts/webinars/Making-Agile-Work-for-You.cfm
