On Page Optimization not updating after SSL change

[RitchieF1980]

Last week we changed our URLs to be only HTTPS (they were a mixture of both for a couple of weeks). We did this by adding a 301 redirect from HTTP to HTTPS.

However, the On Page Optimization is now showing the same URL/Keyword twice for a few of our pages. One has a grade A, one has a grade B. The grade B complains about "Rel Canonical" not matching, but the other doesn't.

This is pretty confusing - should it not have crawled the pages and noticed the 301 redirects and combined the entries or removed the HTTP ones?

Hi Ritchie,

Thanks for reaching out to us! I apologize for some confusion with how we handle redirects from http to https for the same subdomain. Technically we are seeing two versions of the same site which is why the on-page analysis will show keywords twice. Your secure site is already ranking higher in SERPs for your keywords thanks to the redirect you have in place. It will take time for the reports from the http to drop over leaving just the https keywords.

You could try a root domain campaign as a workaround for just backup-technology.com (without the www) which might remove the duplicates. I would definitely like to follow up with you and see how this works out.

I hope that makes sense.
