New website server code errors
-
I launched a new website at www.cheaptubes.com and have recovered my search engine rankings as well after penguin & panda devestation. I'm continuing to improve the site but moz analytics is saying I have 288 medium issues and i see the warning "45% of site pages served 302 redirects during the last crawl". I'm not sure how to fix this. I'm on WP using Yoast SEO so all the 301's I did are 301's not 302's. I do have SSL, could it be Http vs Https?

Hi
as this is already a post which is markdr as answered it's better to make a new question and to reference this one (else nobody will notice). I would however strongly advice to ask this question as well on a more technical forum like stackoverflow.com

Can someone please help me! the code that was suggested either didn't work or I'm not putting it in right as it broke my site and I have no idea how to fix it. This past weekend I put W3 cache on it and tinypng to compress my images and optimize the site. Google Page speed said my website is loading 30% faster but now I'm losing rankings again and the Moz crawl now says there are 618 pages with redirects compared to 300 last week. I didn't redirect any pages last weekend. Is it possible that the W3 cache did it? I was trying to fix the issues below from pagespeed which is why I put the W3 cache on it and did the image optimization.
Should Fix:
Eliminate render-blocking JavaScript and CSS in above-the-fold content
Optimize images
Consider Fixing:
Minify JavaScript
Leverage browser caching
Minify CSS
Minify HTML

Hi,
I am not really an expert in rewrite rules but normally the syntax is
RewriteCond: Condition
RewriteRule: If condition is met - use this rule to redirectThe order in which the rules are put is important - in the example above when putting first the redirect to https and then the rule that non-www should be redirect to http you are redirecting back to http instead of https.
So your htaccess would look like this (delete the italic part or replace the existing code by the italic version) - no guarantee it's going to work but worth a try. If not working - you could try to put your question on stackoverflow (regex & redirects are way to technical for most of us)
BEGIN WordPress
<ifmodule mod_rewrite.c="">RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index.php$ - [L] => by default all url's in WP are redirected to index.php</ifmodule>RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d=> if file (f) or directory (d) are not found)
RewriteRule . /index.php [L] => redirect to root index
RewriteEngine On => the rewrite engine is already on - no need to put this a second timeRewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www. => if not www in request
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L] => redirect to www(you could also try this rule:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.example.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule .? http://www.example.com%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]with example.com replaced by your site)
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on => if not https
RewriteRule ^.*$ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L] => redirect to https(You could also try this rule RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} )END WordPress

i have tried again to insert the code and it broke my site again. I was able to edit the same file to leverage browser caching successfully so I don't know what i'm doing wrong. I tried movng this code to right below RewriteEngine On and before the Rewrite Base. I tried it at the end where I tried before, no luck. the file now looks like
BEGIN WordPress
<ifmodule mod_rewrite.c="">RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]Browser Caching
FileETag MTime Size
<ifmodule expires_module="">ExpiresActive on
ExpiresDefault "access plus 1 week"</ifmodule>END WordPress</ifmodule>
Does anyone have suggestions of how to implement Andy & Dirks ideas?

Hi Andy
When I tried to do as you suggested it gave me an internal server error. Please see the code below from .htaccess and the server error. I took it out for now.
BEGIN WordPress
<ifmodule mod_rewrite.c="">RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on RewriteRule ^.$ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www. RewriteRule ^(.)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]</ifmodule>END WordPress
Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@cheaptubes.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.
More information about this error may be available in the server error log.
Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

No problem at all. Let me know if you get stuck.

Thanks Andy. I had no idea how to fix. I will give these a try today as soon as I fix a cart shipping glitch.

Thank you Dirk. That must be what moz sees too. I'm new to WP & worked with a developer early on who turned out to be just kinda coasting thru easy 3-5 page sites but not very good with ecommerce sites like mine. I've spent months finishing and fixing it. if you want a laugh, my old site until 3 weeks ago was still in frontpage and that's why (along with outdated SEO methods) i got hit hard by algorithm updates. This site was built on another server and moved. I've still been fixing outdated links to the dev server where i find them. I will try your suggestion today

Hi,
As Dirk said, you have a lot of http & https issues so you should fix these with a bit of .htaccess code, as below.
`RewriteEngine On` RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on RewriteRule ^.*$ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]
You also have some non-www to www issues. You can fix these in .htaccess at the same time...
`RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.` RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
<code class="htaccess" title="in your .htaccess file">You should find this fixes a lot of your issues. Also check in your Wordpress general settings that the site is set to www.cheaptubes.com for both instances.
Let me know how you get on with these.

Hi,
The 302's are coming from redirects from https to http - example: https://www.cheaptubes.com/product-tag/monlayer-graphene-on-cu/ is redirecting to http://www.cheaptubes.com/product-tag/monlayer-graphene-on-cu/ with a 302 (you seem to have a lot of these redirects)
There also seems to be an issue with your url's. You have quite a large number of 4xx errors - mainly caused by trying to call .js files that normally would reside on the root & you try to call on a product page - example: http://www.cheaptubes.com/product/f-functionalized-graphene-nanoplatelets/js/foundation.min.js - while this file is actually on http://www.cheaptubes.com/wp-content/themes/cheaptubes/js/foundation.min.js - so I guess something is wrong with the way you construct your internal links.
Hope this helps,
Dirk

Since implementing GDPR, has anyone seen website traffic plummet?
On December 1 and 2, I implemented a cookie banner on 5 of my Wix sites (https://www.sanitationsolutionsinc.com is one example) in order to be in compliance with GDPR, CCPA, and LGPD. Since then my traffic according to Wix Analytics and Google Analytics has plummeted. Anyone else have the same issue? How did you fix it?

Collecting post codes / zip codes in Google Analytics - Terms of Service
Hi Mozzers, Just reading up on Google Analytic's Terms of Service and wondering if collecting post codes / zip codes (from a website's 'Find my nearest...' tool) adhere's to the following: "You will not (and will not allow any third party to) use the Service to track, collect or upload any data that personally identifies an individual (such as a name, email address or billing information), or other data which can be reasonably linked to such information by Google." What do you think?

Finding missing GA code
Hi guys, I'm trying to find missing Google Analytics code on pages using Screaming Frog. I usually use Screaming Frog to find pages missing GA tracking but sometimes i encounter websites like: http://tinyurl.com/qjbdyxr which don't contain the GA code in the html (even though there is a GA code on the page). I'm guessing its located somewhere else and pulled in from somewhere? Any suggestions? Cheers,

Sudden Increase In Number of Pages Indexed By Google Webmaster When No New Pages Added
Greetings MOZ Community: On June 14th Google Webmaster tools indicated an increase in the number of indexed pages, going from 676 to 851 pages. New pages had been added to the domain in the previous month. The number of pages blocked by robots increased at that time from 332 (June 1st) to 551 June 22nd), yet the number of indexed pages still increased to 851. The following changes occurred between June 5th and June 15th: -A new redesigned version of the site was launched on June 4th, with some links to social media and blog removed on some pages, but with no new URLs added. The design platform was and is Wordpress. -Google GTM code was added to the site. -An exception was made by our hosting company to ModSecurity on our server (for i-frames) to allow GTM to function. In the last ten days my web traffic has decline about 15%, however the quality of traffic has declined enormously and the number of new inquiries we get is off by around 65%. Click through rates have declined from about 2.55 pages to about 2 pages. Obviously this is not a good situation. My SEO provider, a reputable firm endorsed by MOZ, believes the extra 175 pages indexed by Google, pages that do not offer much content, may be causing the ranking decline. My developer is examining the issue. They think there may be some tie in with the installation of GTM. They are noticing an additional issue, the sites Contact Us form will not work if the GTM script is enabled. They find it curious that both issues occurred around the same time. Our domain is www.nyc-officespace-leader. Does anyone have any idea why these extra pages are appearing and how they can be removed? Anyone have experience with GTM causing issues with this? Thanks everyone!!!

Google Links Disavow - Does that preclude new links from a domain?
If using Google disavow links tool and you disavow links from a 'domain' does that mean that any 'future or new links' from that domain will be blocked? Answer Yes is good if the domain is spammy but bad if the domain was submitted in error ........ Answer NO is good if the domain was submitted in error but bad if the site is spammy. Does anyone have an answer to this please? Also is there a disavow 'undo' request process available? cheers, Mike

How do you add Facebook Insights to Multiple Websites?
If I have 4 top-level domain websites all for the same corporate company but with different focuses (ie/ engineering, technology etc.) and I want to add Facebook insights, should I add the same meta tag to all websites or should I create separate meta tags? If I create seperate ones, the issue is that we have one main facebook page that has multiple admins that I would like to give access to but it looks like you can only associate one website to one facebook page. So from what I can tell, if I were to create separate ones, I would have to setup fake facebook pages or fake profiles in order to get different facebook insights meta tags? I'm hoping there is a better way... or maybe I should just put the same meta tag code on all 4 websites? Thanks for your help!
