I am looking for help eliminating issues with website
-
I am looking for a company or person to assist me on the technical aspect of improving our site speed and resolving so errors that MOZ is reporting. For instance, we have an old URL domain that we retired when we consolidated 2 websites. We pointed (mapped) the old site pages to the current website, is this redirect helping (links) or hurting us? Can anyone recommend someone I can hire to help me with this project?

Hi Julie,
I know that you are looking to hire someone, but I thought I would share some opinions here to get you thinking about what you want to spend your money on. I did an on-demand scan of your site on Moz to see what you are seeing in error reporting.
Issues that need fixed first I think the most important issues you need fixed first are your title tags, missing H1 tags and possibly your URL structure if you would like. That with focus on your on-page content will see large benefits to you and your company.
Redirect Issues
The redirect issues that I am seeing are actually redirect chains. This means that a link redirects to another redirect that finally lands on a page. There are two redirects in that process. You might want to investigate how you are redirecting those URLs from the previous site. I always think it is good to have those redirects in place from a previous site. You may want to use the links section of Moz to see if anyone is linking to your previous site. If you are certain there are no more links to your previous site, then you can safely remove those redirects.
Site Speed
I think it is important to understand site speed in rankings. Yes, the faster the website the better user mobile experience. Right now, Google doesn't rank sites based on page speed difference. It only will effect rankings if your site is really bad. Google's expectations in their report is high because they want to push towards lightweight websites. Just because it ranks as slow doesnt mean that it will take effect on your rankings. A lot of cases, there will have to be some significant code changes to fix some of those areas. Scan your competitors site as well and see where they fall. Amazon only scores a 70 and they seem to do fine.
Also, speed fluctuates much like rankings fluctuate. A .3 second drop shouldn't be concerning. It is probably because of the pop-up you have installed announcing you are still open.
Summary
I would clean up your SEO tags and metadata first. Then you can start to worry about the redirect chains and finally maybe the site speed. If speed is a major priority for your firm, then you may want to consider a redesign built around a lightweight template.

We have 2 main issues: Web page speed and re-directs from an old URL.
**#1 Web page speed: ** Our website speed (for acclaimlegalservices.com) according to https://www.thinkwithgoogle.com/feature/testmysite/ is 2.9 seconds, which is considered slow and has gotten .3 seconds slower over the past month. We need technical help to fix some issues that are causing site slowness.
**#2 Re-directs: ** We are getting notices from MOZ on re-direct issues. We have an old website (acclaimls.com) that we closed down several years ago as we had 2 competing sites with similar content. We mapped each of the pages on the old site to similar pages on the current site and redirected those pages. I would like a POV as to whether it is still beneficial to keep those links or if we are better off from an SEO perspective to discontinue the re-directs.
Thank you in advance for any help! Julie

Do search engines look for keywords in the slug?
Is it OK to split a key phrase into a slug and file name, or should the entire key phrase be in the file name. For example, consider the following articles: How to wash your car.
On-Page Optimization | | ChristopherGlaeser
How to change a tire.How to replace a windshield wiper. Will search engines recognize the "how to" in the following taxonomy: www.domain.com/how-to/wash-your-car/
www.domain.com/how-to/change-a-tire/
www.domain.com/how-to/replace-a-windshield-wiper/ Or, should the "how-to" be included in the file name? Best,Christopher0 -
Events in Wordpress Creating Duplicate Content Canonical Issues
Hi, I have a site which uses Event Manager Pro within Wordpress to create Events (as custom post types on my blog. I use it to advertise cookery classes. In a given month I might run one type of class 4 times. The event page I have made for each class is the same and I duplicate it 4 times and just change the dates to promote it. The problem is with over 10 different classes, which are then duplicated up to 4 times each per month. I get loads of duplicate content errors. How can I fix this without redirecting people away from the correct page for the date they are interested in? Is it best just to use a no follow for ALL events and rely on the other parts of my site for SEO? Thanks, T23

Complex navigation structure leaving me puzzled with Meta keywords! Would love some help...
Hi there So I have a main navigation, It includes 5 categories Each category contains 4-6 sub categories Within these sub categories, there are 6 - 10 sub sub categories Its a rather complex navigation but allows the end user to land exactly where they want without much mooching. Now my issue is the use of keywords. Should I be feeding the keywords used in the main category through to the sub category and the sub sub category as they are all linked or should I use unique keywords for each sub/sub/sub category? I have added an image of the nav layout so you can see how it works. I hope that makes sense? Could love some help! dHve8.jpg

DUPLICATE PAGE TITLE ISSUE
Hi We have 25 pages with a download form on it. People arrive at the page through a ink with optimised anchor text which sits on the information pages. As there is no information on these pages we do not need them to be optimised so the developer has given all the download pages exactly the same page title. Although the pages in themselves are not significant would this effect the way Google viewed the whole site, and would it pay to make each one unique or doesn't it really matter. Alternatively, is there a better way to handle this? and if so would that ligate the benefit of the anchor text. Thanks
