How to Check 301 Done Properly on Homepage

[b4cab]

Hi All, I posted previously about this, and had some good advice (thanks!)... but not quite sure my problem has been fixed.

About a month ago we changed our hosting over, and our dev didn't coordinate to have both versions of our homepage redirected to the same URL. Our crawl showed up with every single page as duplicate content, and our organic traffic has since dropped by over 60%.

They have told me that it is fixed as of last Monday, and a redundant error that was appearing in my Google Analytics now says that it has been fixed, but Moz crawled my site 2 days ago and still says everything is duplicate content, and my organic traffic is stressing me out!

Any advice on how I can check this is done for myself, rather than trusting these guys haven't messed it up any further? Or is it possible the Moz crawl is a bit slower?

Thanks in advance.

There are multiple online tools which provides this service.Try the URL yourself.

Moz seems to be behind in updating  its index or data. I have fixed similar issue and did 301 redirect a month ago buit moz still complains. So you are not alone.

One such a tool I found is https://monitorbacklinks.com/seo-tools/http-header-status-check

Hi,

1 authoritative way is to use Google's own tool in Google Webmaster Tools, under "Crawl" you'll see "Fetch as Google". If the tool returns "redirected" as the page's status you may resubmit it to the index

Edit: or you can use the Crawl Tool right here on Moz.com: https://moz.com/researchtools/crawl-test

Hello!

Two tools you might want to use to quickly check this include:
1 - 301 Redirect Checker Chrome Plugin
2- Screaming Frog

I regularly use both of the above tools in addition to the moz crawl test and Google Webmaster Tools. Hope this helps!

Another good tool is Fiddler for sniffing all header responses.

http://www.redirect-checker.org/ This is the website. Just enter your URL and it will show you the status code of it.

As simple as that!
