      My site is a total mess from a clean “crawling” perspective. We are still getting traffic and doing business, but I am afraid from an SEO perspective we are driving with the parking brake on.

      There a lot of 301’s and some of them are causing 404 errors. Below is an overview of my 5 year old  magento site which was moved from a 5 year old xcart site (so there is a lot of old junk (url’s) in there). It needs cleaning up and I need a plan and seo / 301 help.

      Overview:

      Recently moved from http to https - not sure best practices were followed, but we had lots of crawl issues before this move.

      Analytics

      • Top 100 Landing Pages = 82.7% of entrances

      Webmaster Tools

      • 594 Pages Indexed

      • 65 Not found errors - most involve 301’s - examples below

      • Sitemap: 773 Submitted, 395 Indexed

      • URL Parameters - 41 - I can’t tell if they are doing anything (helping or hurting)

      Moz Crawl

      • Total Pages 3,454

      • 324 Redirect Issues (258 Temp and 66 Chain)

      Magento

      • 11,773 Redirects

      • 5390 System

      • 6383 Custom

      • On July 15, 2017 I deleted 40 redirects from htaccess that a developer had put there that were causing problems.

      Blog

      • We have a wordpress blog installed on Magento site. Years ago it was moved from a subdomain to a subdirectory.

      • Magento 1.9 SEO. I have product pages with identical On Page SEO score in the 90's. Some pull up Google page 1 some won't pull up at all. I am searching for the exact title on that page.
