      Hello,

      I have a client who's home page redirects to /default.aspx - what are the possible SEO impacts of this?

      As the home page redirects to /default.aspx and does not load under both there does not seem to be a duplicate content issue.

      Also the redirect should carry over most of the link juice from the home page to /default.aspx therefore are there any negative SEO "side effects" of this set-up?

      Thanks in advance!

        As long as it's a 301 redirect and /default.aspx is the sole URL as you said it was, then there shouldn't be a problem SEO-wise.

          • Ideally should a 301 or 302 redirect be used from https://www.site.com to http://www.site.com? Is there a valid reason to use a 302 in this situation or would using a 301 have any negative impact on seo?
