CSS and Javascipt files - website redesign project

[CREW-MARKETING]

UPDATED: We ran a crawl of the old website and have a list of css and javascript links as are part of the old website content. As the website is redesigned from scratch, I don't think these old css and javascipt files are being used for anything on the new site. I've read elsewhere online that you redirect "all" content files if launching/migrating to a new site. We are debating if this is needed for css and javascript files. Examples

• (A) http://website.com/wp-content/themes/style.css
• (B) http://website.com/wp-includes/js/wp-embed.min.js?ver=4.8.1

Hi Andy!

Thanks for reading. We ran a crawl of the old website and the said links are part of the old website content.

Hey there,

One thing is for sure - js and css files have no value to your site's SEO. If your site is looking good and working well under the new design there's no point in worrying about this.

Good luck!!
