HTTP Headers
-
I ran an independant SEO test that recommended I do the following:
Missing Header: Cache-Control header missing, should be presentMissing Header: Content-Length header missing, should be presentMissing Header: Content-Encoding - why don't you try using gzip or deflate?Missing Header: Expires header missing, should be presentMissing Header: Last-Modified header missing, should be presentIs any of this necessary?

Some of those headers might help you serve your page faster. They might save you and your users some bandwidth.
I guess if you think that page load time is super important (most say it's a small factor) then you could argue those are important for SEO but genrally speaking Marcus is right.

Nope, not really.

No index for http version of website
Hi, I've had a message from Google search console to say the sitemap for the http version of my site is tagged as no index. As the https version is indexed, do I need to change the http version to be indexed as well? Do I need to keep the http version of the site in search console alongside the https version, or should I remove it? Advice appreciated!

HTTP to HTTPS
I had a site that was http://www.site.com and now the entire site is https://www.site.com. I notice in WMT its showing https://wwwsite.com listed as not verified. I never added it, but did Google recognize it and added it to my list of sites? Do I need to verify it? Is it ok to have verified http:www.site.com and additionally https://www.site.com Also, i submitted a new sitemap and indexed pages are low. Will that go up as Google crawls the site? The https://www.site.com was launched about a week ago. Thanks.

Dear Moz members, In our webshop we have hidden H6 headers for example: http://www.rijwielcashencarry.nl/bovag-fietsreparatie and then the diagnoses chrome://seoquake/content/modules/diagnosis/diagnosis.html?id=1.

Having a terrible time ordering the CSS Styles and Scripts in my header
Hi Guys, I am having a terrible time trying to get the correct optimized (for speed, none blocking etc) order for loading my external css and JS. I follow the recommendations from Google Page Speed or Chrome Audit and it seems no matter where I move the CSS file too (top or bottom) it complains about more blocking and stopping rendering of the page. My URL is http://www.MyFairyTaleBooks.com if some smart person out there could help me figure out what I am doing wrong and the order in which my should be organized I'd appreciate it! Oh I'm not a developer but I can re-arrange text in a file! 😉 Thank you!

My report is showing duplicate titles.. for http://www.mysite.com/ & http://mysite.com
Is this because I setup my campaign wrong in seo moz or should I have my site setup differently to forward all traffic without the www to the www version? Or vise versa? Thanks for any advice!

Same H1 tag in header across entire site
Should I have the same H1 tag in my header through out my entire site? Or is this considered to be self canalization for my main keywords. For example right now I have an H1 tag with my main targeted keywords on every page on my site, even if the pages content doesn't necessarily match the keywords in the H1 tag.

Why does http://www.southernhearth.com rank so well for patio furniture and outdoor furniture?
I was looking at the competitiveness of ranking for the keywords "patio furniture" & "outdoor furniture" and was shocked to see www.southernhearth.com ranking so well. While I am just getting into the research, I was unable to see anything that would justify it's rank. What are your thoughts?
