      Two versions of the same page are being served at the moment. Certain pages on the site redirect to the https version whilst others don't. I am being flagged for duplicate content because of this. Is this a simple fix? As in just redirect all to the https version and set the preferred version in WMT?

        You'd see more value out of a proper full SSL installation than troubleshooting or implementing a healthy setup for mixed URLs IMO.

          Hello there,

          Remember, https and http versions are different sites for google, so serving some part as http and some other as https is incorrect and misleads googleBot.
          Yes, you should have only one version. Either all in http or https, NOT BOTH!

          Simple? no migration is simple. Talk to your dev team or hire one to do it properly.
          And ofcourse, after everything is done, verify the new HTTPs version in Search Console.

          Take a look on these three articles. They will really help you.

          Hope it helps.
          Best luck.

            Yes, I agree. It was an error on the dev teams part that has now been fixed.

            Thank you!

              • Bigcommerce only allows us to have https for our store only, not the other pages on our site, so we have a mix of https and http, how is this hurting us and what's the best way to fix?

              • Responsive web design has a crawl error of redirecting to HTTP instead of HTTPS ? is this because of the new update of google that appreciates the HTTPs more?

              • I have a site that has both http:// and https:// versions indexed, e.g. https://www.homepage.com/ and http://www.homepage.com/. How do I de-index the https// versions without losing the link juice that is going to the https://homepage.com/ pages?
