Ecommerce - Go to Basket 302 query

[BeckyKey]

Hi

I have done a site crawl and there are a lot of 302's on the 'Go to Basket' link when customers go through to pay.

Should these be updated to 301's? On just the first part of the link so nothing after the ? /OrderCalculation?

Thank you

You're not trying to rank your basket page, so I wouldn't personally worry about these.

So it won't affect overall domain authority?

[ThomasHarvey]

Not really, I would be more concerned with the 302 redirects on your homepage.

I'll assume these are going to a different secure subdomain, so don't worry too much about it. Like Thomas posted, you aren't going to get the shopping cart to rank (and don't want it to) so there's no real concern. A 302 is essentially stopping "link juice" from going to the cart page, so as far as domain authority goes it seems like you should leave it how it's set up now. You're keeping the authority on your pages while sending users to the correct place to complete the purchase. As long as these aren't internal links to other product pages or family pages, you should be good.

Yep working on these asap!
