RE: Missing trailing slash in URL on subpages resulting in Moz PA of 1posted in Web Design
Brilliant!
Thank you so much Thomas!!! I will see what I can do about cleaning this all up!
I believe I have located it the issue. The redirects are occurring after a base rewrite rule:
Rewrite URLs to / from .html. SEO friendly. Added by David Turner 12/26/15
RewriteBase /
Rewrite requests for index.php to directory to avoid 500 errors when added to paths. Added by David Turner 12/30/15
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^./index.php
RewriteRule ^(.)index.php$ /$1 [R=301,L]remove the .html extension
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^GET\ (.).html\ HTTP
RewriteRule (.).html$ $1 [R=301]remove index and reference the directory
RewriteRule (.*)/index$ $1/ [R=301]
remove trailing slash if not a directory
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /$
RewriteRule (.*)/ $1 [R=301]forward request to html file, but don't redirect (bot friendly)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.html -f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/$
RewriteRule (.*) $1.html [L]Moving the 301s above these and cleaning these up a bit should restore the 301 redirects properly and regain Moz PA.

The 301 redirect has existed for 4 months and a day. Why has it not assumed PR with Moz?

The original question is if it is a factor for the trialing slash to not exist as I am seeing Moz PRs of 1 on these pages after four months.
I appreciate all the rewrites but this is all common knowledge to me.

Hello Thomas,
Thank you for your time.
Redirect 301 /hosting-dedicated.php https://www.ultrawebhosting.com/dedicated-servers
has been set since 01/02/16 via .htaccess
I have removed the duplicate access-control as one was arbitrating font extensions and the other everything.

RE: Missing trailing slash in URL on subpages resulting in Moz PA of 1posted in Web Design
Unfortunately this does not quite answer the question. The structure is by design but I am having my second thoughts after reviewing Moz and seeing this occurrence. Why are all sub-directories which do not end with / have a moz trust of 1? This even occurs here in the community forum. When the DA is 56 and the pages have been around for four months and are all linked from the homepage shouldn't they have a PA? Is the lack of a trailing slash a factor?

Missing trailing slash in URL on subpages resulting in Moz PA of 1posted in Web Design
Even here in moz community I am noticing it. Is it really a factor to have an ending slash on the page? Does it make a difference? Our website has a homepage PA of 63, DA of 56 but all of our sub-pages are just 1 and they have been up for 4 months.
