Changing from www to non-www impacting page authority?

[Photowife]

I moved my website in May from Wix to Wordpress. Since then the home page authority has dropped from 27 to 16. The old website displayed as www.ajlansell.co.uk, but the new site is set to ajlansell.co.uk without the www (this was set by my hosting company).

I tried changing the settings in Wordpress to www.etc, and the home page bounces back up to a page authority of 27 - but it messes up the menus and some other elements on the page so that the page is not displayed correctly.

Is there any other way I can get that page authority back? Thanks.

Hi there!

Please keep in mind that Page Authotiry is a metric that privative for Moz so having a lower PA in this case is no harm in SEO neither in rankings. That said, if redirections are implemented correctly PA will be the higher, eventually. Just give Roger (moz's Bot) time to re proccess and actualize the authority.

Hope it helps.
Best luck

Thanks Gaston. Everything seems to redirect fine, so I guess I need to be patient!
