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

Unexplained Crawl Diagnostic Errors & Opencart
Hi, I've been looking at the crawl diagnostics for my site and trying to fix the errors that are showing up but Seomoz is producing some strange results. It's saying pages are duplicated upto 16 times but those pages dont exist. It's adding "page=3", "page=4" to the end of the product URL but I don't see how it's finding those pages, nothing on the site(as far as I can tell) is linking to them. There is no "page=3", just the one product page. Again on the duplicate content it's saying under the "other URLs" there's URLs like "http:///product-a" but again I don't see where it's finding these URLs and obviously those URL's dont work. Those three slashes aren't a typo either. So far I've reduced the amount of errors from 2,005 to 543 but the rest of them I can't make sense of. Also, what does one do when you have two products, eg: "product-a-white" and "product-a-black" to prevent Seomoz from seeing duplicates? Canonical links wont work because there's no parent item, just those two. Google Webmaster tools doesn't seem to have a problem though. Using Opencart 1.5, if it helps. Cheers,
