Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Recommended Approach for Redirects:
Best Practice: Redirect each page to the most relevant remaining page. This preserves SEO value and improves user experience.

Why: Google favors relevance, and this avoids the "soft 404" issue or penalties for generic redirects.
If 1:1 Mapping Isn’t Feasible:

Option A: Redirect to category pages or sections related to the old content.
Option B: Split redirects between the homepage and a custom 404 page, depending on relevance.
Avoid These Mistakes:

Redirecting all pages to the homepage can confuse users and may not preserve link equity.
Redirecting to a custom 404 loses SEO value entirely.
Mitigate Concerns About SEO Penalties:

Ensure the homepage (if used) is relevant, with clear links to key sections.
Use Google Search Console to monitor performance and adjust as needed.
Redirect relevance is the key to preserving both SEO value and user satisfaction.

Optimizing Core Web Vitals for a Shopify store can be challenging, but there are several apps and strategies that can help improve LCP (Largest Contentful Paint), FID (First Input Delay), and CLS (Cumulative Layout Shift). Here are some recommendations:

Shopify Apps:

PageSpeed Optimizer: This app helps optimize images, minify JavaScript and CSS, and implement lazy loading to improve LCP and overall page speed.
Booster: Speed Optimizer: Offers various features to speed up your store, including image optimization, script management, and caching enhancements.
Crush Pics: Specializes in image compression to help reduce LCP by speeding up image load times without losing quality.
TinyIMG SEO & Image Optimizer: Provides image optimization and can improve page load speeds and LCP.
Performance Tips:

Image Optimization: Use tools like TinyPNG or ImageOptim to compress images before uploading them to Shopify. Ensure images are in the appropriate format (e.g., WebP).
Minify CSS and JavaScript: Minify and combine your CSS and JavaScript files to reduce file sizes and improve load times. Apps like Minifier can assist with this.
Lazy Loading: Implement lazy loading for images and videos to improve LCP. Some Shopify apps offer this feature or you can manually add it using custom code.
Reduce Third-Party Scripts: Limit the use of third-party scripts and apps that might slow down your site, affecting FID and CLS.
Use a Content Delivery Network (CDN): Implement a CDN to serve your content faster from servers closer to your customers.
Custom Code Solutions:

Async and Defer: Modify your theme’s code to load JavaScript files asynchronously or defer their loading to improve FID.
Critical CSS: Inline critical CSS to speed up the rendering of above-the-fold content and improve LCP.
Testing and Monitoring:

Use tools like Google PageSpeed Insights, Lighthouse, or Web Vitals Chrome Extension to regularly test your store’s performance and identify areas for improvement.
By combining these apps and strategies, you can effectively address issues related to LCP, FID, and CLS on your Shopify store.

Thank you for the valuable feedback. While the current code successfully executes, it lacks accuracy in tracing the redirect sequence. The issue stems from the disjointed nature of the captured redirects, as seen in the isolated transitions from A to B, B to C, and C to D, where randomly generated hash numbers (channel_1 and channel_2) are utilized. This disrupts the continuity of the redirect chain, resulting in an inaccurate representation of the actual progression from A through D.

The objective is to effectively track the entire journey, encompassing transitions from A to B to C to D, across various redirection techniques such as meta-refresh, JavaScript, and HTTP redirects. I would greatly appreciate your guidance on refining the code to maintain the integrity of the redirect sequence, ensuring a connected and sequential mapping of the redirection process. Liteblue
