      hi all

      hopefully somebody can help me with this issue 🙂

      6 months ago a number of pages hosted at a domain level have been moved to a subdomain level with 301redirects + some others were created from scratch ( at a subdomain level too).

      what happens is that not only the new urls at the subdomain level are not indexed nor cached, but the old urls are still indexed in google, although by clicking on them they bring to the new urls via 301 redirect.

      question is why having a 301 redirects to the new urls, no issues with robot.txt, metarobots etc, the new urls are still de-indexed? i might remind you that a few (100 pages or so) have been created from scratch, but they are also not indexed.

      the only issue found across the page is the no-cache line of code set as follow:

      Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0 Pragma: no-cache

      i am not familiar with cache control lines. Can this be an issue from a correct indexing?

      thanks in advance

      Dario

        How long has it been since the change? Google will need weeks and week to recrawl and reindex all the stuff.

        If it's been a while, this is one of those issues where we kind of need the URL. It can be a lot of different things, and sometimes it's a lot faster and easier if someone just gets in there and digs around.

        • My beta site (beta.website.com) has been inadvertently indexed. Its cached pages are taking traffic away from our real website (website.com). Should I just "NO INDEX" the entire beta site and if so, what's the best way to do this? Please advise.
