Fetch As Google Redirect from HTTPS to HTTP

[motif_marketing]

Hi Moz Community,

We just launched a redesigned site and moved our blog from http://sparkline.motifinvesting.com to https://www.motifinvesting.com/blog.

When I went to check the site today I noticed something strange. When I Fetch a Blog URL as Google it is redirecting from https to http AND dropping the / <post-id>from the end of the URL.</post-id>

So for the URL https://www.motifinvesting.com/blog/cleantech-obama-romney/1494

I  am getting the attached  results when I Fetch as Google.

When I access the same URL in my browser, I see a 200 status code and no redirect. Why would Google Bot show that the URL is being redirected?

Thanks,
Breanna

Hi there

I am actually seeing a redirect in the URL you are posting. ScreamingFrog is telling me that...

https://www.motifinvesting.com/blog/cleantech-obama-romney/1494

...is 301 redirecting to...

https://www.motifinvesting.com/blog/cleantech-obama-romney/

It actually appears your entire blog section is redirecting when it has a /(post-id) in the URL. You're on Apache so I would have your web development team check your URL rewrites and make sure there is nothing strange happening there.

Again, this seems to be a blog issue around your post-ids - I would start there and check other sections of the site as well.

Hope this helps! Good luck!

Hi Patrick -

Thanks. Your answer helped. I was getting  thrown off because developer tools wasn't showing the 301 redirect, but ScreamingFrog clearly validated what WebMaster tools reported which gave me enough to go back to Ops and have them investigate further!

Thumbs UP!
