Www or https only
-
All pages are secure on my website now.
Some of my pages listed on Google are now https://domain.com and some are https://www.domain.com
Which format should I use and why? (with www or without?)
I want to give Google a new site map URL in the Google search console?
Yes I know both URLs go to the same page.
-
according to the user point of view then both URL the same but if I think from google indexing then both are different URLs so you can do implement 301 permanent redirections even my website had the same problem but I sorted - definitiveinfo
-
My site not displaying after https integration. kindly check here thangapushpam.com
Any solution from experts? -
Check which architecture receives your highest quality backlinks and then force that structure using 301 redirects
-
SEO-Wise it is the same whether you include the www or you don't, but since you mention that on some of the pages indexed it shows with the www and on others it doesn't, then you should do a 301 redirect to the option you like. Having both options accessible can make it possible for the search engines to rank them as different pages, although that would be unlikely.
I personally prefer not to include the www because I want my URLs to be shorter. Other people think that including the www can make the URL look a little more professional, but in the end it's just a matter of personal preference. As long as you stick to one option, you should be totally fine.

Proper 301 redirect code for http to https
I see lots of suggestions on the web for forwarding http to https. I've got several existing sites that want to take advantage of the SSL boost for SEO (however slight) and I don't want to lose SEO placements in the process. I can force all pages to be viewed through the SSL - that's no problem. But for SEO reasons, do I need to do a 301 redirect line of code for every page in the site to the new "https" version? Or is there a way to catch all with one line of code that Google, etc. will recognize & honor?

Can I Block https URLs using Host directive in robots.txt?
Hello Moz Community, Recently, I have found that Google bots has started crawling HTTPs urls of my website which is increasing the number of duplicate pages at our website. Instead of creating a separate robots.txt file for https version of my website, can I use Host directive in the robots.txt to suggest Google bots which is the original version of the website. Host: http://www.example.com I was wondering if this method will work and suggest Google bots that HTTPs URLs are the mirror of this website. Thanks for all of the great responses! Regards,

Https redirect
Hi there, a client of mine is asking me if Google would penalize to redirect from all the http urls to https (they want to change the security protocol). I assume it is going to work as a classic 301, right? so they might lose some authority in they way, but I am not 100% sure. Can anyone confirm this? does anyone has a similar experience? thanks a lot!
