      hey, on https://www.xxx.co we've setup a 301 redirect to xxx.us - > BUT in webmaster tools its still showing a 200 load ok, whereas on all other testing tools its showing a 301 redirect (screamingfrog etc)

      even https://dns.google.com/query?name=www.xxx.co is showing that its 301 redirected.

      Any ideas? as we want to trigger the change of address tool in WMT and its saying it cant as it loads the homepage still....

        and when we trigger it in the serps by search xxx.co - it completely ignores the 301 redirect and loads the error page. Any ideas? is this a google caching issue?

          So tech team found that redirecting via your dns vs your CDN is different - whilst SEO tools found that changes in domain name provider where ok - due to https its seen be google as man if the middle security hack!

          • Hi, we are wanting to test a new version of one particular page on our website. What's the best way to run a test for a week without harming rankings. Do we use a 302 redirect or direct 100% of traffic using a tool like Optimizely?

          • I am using All-in-One-seo. I change the title and meta description on the home page, but it is not showing up on the search. It is on the source code. When I change other pages, the both show up in the search, just not the home page. Any idea why?.
