      Hi guys,

      We're in the process of moving one of our sites to a newer version of the CMS. The new version doesn't support page extensions (.aspx) but we'll keep them for all existing pages (about 8,000) to avoid redirects. The technical team is wondering about the new pages - does it make any difference if the new pages are without extensions, except for usability?

      Thanks!

        It may help with consistency, but it certainly has no benefit from an SEO perspective.

          You do need to make sure you do a 301 redirect to the pages without extensions.

          • If the order of products on a page changes each time the page is loaded, does this have a negative effect on the SEO of those pages?
