Website ranking declined after connecting to CDN
-
Hi!
We are trying to rank https://windowmart.ca for various local search terms.
Our head office is in Edmonton where we try to rank https://windowmart.ca/edmonton-windows-doors/ for such terms as "windows Edmonton", "replacement windows Edmonton", "windows and doors Edmonton" as well as others.
The website was the leader in its niche for around 2 years. Then we've got some server related issues, moved to a new server and connected CDN Nitropack that really improved our google speed test results.
Recently we noticed that our rankings started to drop.
Do you know if Nitropack can negatively effect local SEO rankings?
Thank you!

@karthickvelu thank you, we'll monitor links and search console

@vaskrupp Check out your CDN settings - your CDN should work on your subdomain. If your CDN works on your CDN provider's domain - it can be the cause of this rank drop.
Another thing to rule out is some issues with canonicals. If your site's canonicals had some small issues that you could have ignored prior to moving to CDN, they will be amplified, and may cause the traffic drop.
Of course, there could be some options with the CDN in your particular local market. If the first two are ruled out, try switching to another CDN provider.
Hope my advice will help. Let me know if you have any further questions, and do reply with the details when your issue will be resolved.

@vaskrupp Have you checked the recent backlink profile? Is there any dropping? If not, please be patient and keep monitoring the Search console.

Redirecting an Entire Website?
Is it best to redirect an old website to a new website page by page to like pages or just the entire site all at once to the home page of the new site? I do have about 10 good pages on the site that are worth directing to corresponding pages on the new site. Just trying to figure out what is going to preserve the most link juice. Thanks for the help!

Measuring the size of a competitors website?
I think our website is too big, far too many indexed pages. I'd like to do some research on how big our competitors' websites are (how many indexed pages). Is there a way to do this? Cheers, Rhys

Websites being hacked & duplicated, what should we do?
Hi, please help! Our website was hacked and being totally duplicated. They even injected codes to intercept our orders. Although the codes issue had been solved, still there're two mirror sites out there. When search for some of our key words, they even have good ranks. What exactly can we do to let Google ban those two sites. Thanks in advance!

Why is my website banned?
IMy website is Costume Machine at www.costumemachine.com . My site has been banned for 1 year now. I have requested that google reconsider my site 3 times without luck. The site is dynamic and basically pulls in feeds from affiliate sites. We have added over 1,500 pages of original content. The site has been running great since 2008 without any penalties. I don't think I got hit with any linking penalty. I cleaned up all questionable links last November when the penalty hit. Am I being hit with a "thin" site penalty? If that is the issue what is the best way to fix the problem?
