      Hello!

      Our website using JAVA redirect (legal reasons) , I noticed that pages that have JS redirect don't get the same page authority for example:
      The old home page have 60 PA while the new home page get only 22 PA

      I know that Google don't have problem with JS redirects and they passing all the juice like regular 301
      but all SEO tools are straggling to understand it, why?

      Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

        we'd need some specific examples.

        in general, any new page will have a lower PA than an established page.

        • I've got duplicate pages. For example, blog/page/2 is the same as author/admin/page/2\. Is this something I should just ignore, or should I create the author/admin/page2 and then 301 redirect?

        • We are switching our CMS local pages from a subdomain approach to a subfolder approach. What's the best way to handle this? Should we redirect every local subdomain page to its new subfolder page?
