Woocommerce add-to-cart causing increase in temporary redirect

[ruevoliere]

Hi,

I was wondering is negatively influencing the SEO. Woocommerce add-to-cart is, logically, a 302. However, MOZ is alarming that there is a large amount of temporary redirects on my site.  Do I have to act on this or just leave as is?

I change the nofollow to follow but not sure if this does more harm then good. Would like to hear some input regarding this issue.

I completely understand where you’re coming from. But I believe that in order for the Moz webCrawler to work properly it would have to be able to detect a CMS and then make unique recommendations for that CMS that would take away the functionality currently for crawling on websites.

For now it’s up to the SEO to figure out what to make of the reports.

if you want to send me a copy of the report I would love to look at it because there still could be issues that I’m not seeing. Or I could just run a report on the same website if you’d like me to? Is this impacting your your ability to rank in anyway?

sincerely,

Tom

Hi Thanks for replying,

They are all buttons or/and  redirects  from either category, product-tag or single product pages. So I know where they are coming from.  Therefor, concluding from your answer I will leave it the way it is and not bother that much about it. However, I do find it strange that MOZ is not recognising this? Since it is a widely used shopping-cart.

From an SEO perspective using 302 redirects for Woocommerce add-to-cart makes complete sense I would keep it that way.

it sounds like you have and add to cart button on every page and seeing this more often than just once?

Can you share your domain with me for or screenshot of a report showing temporary redirects it is fairly simple to figure out whether coming from and then simply change them if needed income if they are appropriate? I would not bother with the no-follow if it's a 302  without assuming it's very hard to tell if it will make. that much of a difference. Remember yes a 302 is a no index but, could become 301 in Google's eyes in the future.

Could you run your site through a screaming frog?  Or would you be willing to share your domain?

if I could see what you are talking about I would be able to give you a lot more feedback that would be more valuable I think.

Respectfully,

Tom
