Http Redirects to Https - then to Redirect 301
-
Searched - not seeing this exact issue(sorry if I'm wrong).
I'm my report I'm seeing that we have old URLs in the wild using http. Those requests come to our site, and then are redirected to the https version. However if this url does not exist, then there's another redirect 301 to the actual page.
This obviously causes a redirect chain. I've searched but don't see a clear answer to this. How can I avoid the chain? How can I go from the http to the new https URL without first incurring the double redirect?
"Look for any recurring chains that could be rewritten as a single rule. "
FWIW I don't see any http to https rewritecond's in my htaccess, and cannot trace where that redirect is generated from.
-
Its actually Magento, so htaccess should be where the http --> https redirect resides, but there's nothing there.

Hi there, if it's not on htaccess and you're on WordPress, check if you have redirect plugins? If not on those two, the redirect was probably done via code. I found this article, which may hopefully help you - https://www.webconfs.com/154/301-redirects-how-to-redirect-your-website/

Buy domain, redirect, get all the good links (+link juice) and disavow the spammy ones?
There is a domain for sale that has a quite nice profile and a lot of good backlinks, but also quite a few spammy ones. This domain has a Spam Score of 14% acc. to Moz Link explorer, ours has only 2%. My questions: 1. The domain and the good backlinks are related to or close to our content/keywords. But we are worried whether the "spammy" ones will hurt us. Does anyone has experience with this? 2. Would it help if we disavow the spammy backlinks afterwards? And if so, how do we do that? Add new domain to search console, disavow the bad links and then redirect the entire domain to our domain or redirect the domain first and then disavow from our property? Many thanks for your help!

'spammy' domains redirecting to website
Hi Everyone, I hope that someone will be able to help us with this one as we have trawled the internet looking for a solution! We have multiple domains (.com/.co.uk/.net versions) which all point to the one website, however, some of these domains have a high spam score - 9-11. Our first initial reaction would be to remove the auto redirects, but, the other domains have been a source of conversion in previous months (or so analytics tells us). So what I'm wondering, is do we remove the 'spammy' links from redirecting to our site, or do we leave them there? We certainly don't want to risk a penalty. Thanks for reading!

Will Google penalize for redirects related to a company merger?
Company A is set to acquire Company B. As part of the merger agreement, Company A will be redirecting the linking domains of Company B's website (over 1,000 links) to company A's website. Will Google penalize Company A for redirecting Company B's 1,000 linking domains to Company A's website at one time? If so, would it be better for Company A to redirect Company B's 1,000 linking domains in waves?

I cannot get any links indexed to this website http://atglimo.com.
I have written nofollow, follow links, issued a press release, and submitted to the Universal Business Listing. None of these links are showing in the Yahoo index. I did a nofollow bookmark with delicious and it disappeared the next day. The people that built the website will not grant FTP access and modded the HTACCESS file incorrectly to point to a WWW. version of the site. I had them remove the index.html duplicate content problem. What is going on? Why are no links showing in the index for this site?
