      Hi there, I can access the following site with http and https making me think that there will be a duplicate content issue. How can I work out if this is the case?

        Hi,

        Yes your are absolutely right, 'll considered as duplicate content.  You should 301 redirect your HTTP to HTTPS.

        Thanks

          Thank you. However this is happening for every URL on the site. How would I fix this?

              You can write a single redirect rule that will apply to any request on the hostname. I'm not sure what server you're using, but if you use HTACCESS, there's a great post on StackOverflow on how to apply this rule: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/29029049/best-practice-301-redirect-http-to-https-standard-domain

              • Do you still loose 15% of value of inbound links when you redirect your site from http to https (so all inbound links to http are being redirected to https version)?

              • Ideally should a 301 or 302 redirect be used from https://www.site.com to http://www.site.com? Is there a valid reason to use a 302 in this situation or would using a 301 have any negative impact on seo?
