Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hello there! Since the http and https URLs are different, the social results will show up different depending on which URL was linked to from that social site - the http URL or the https URL. Since https://docbeans.com/ is the actual URL for your homepage, this should show you the most accurate results in Open Site Explorer. I hope this helps Thanks! Kevin Help Team

Hey Sarwan, A bounce rate can be defined as a percentage of sessions/(visits) where only one interaction occurs. It's actually measured by a first arrival of a visitor, and if there isn’t a second interaction within next 30 minutes – it counts as “a Bounce”." So, in this way, if you're viewing a page, and leaves your browser idle or left that page open for longer than 30 mins, it will register as a bounce. And, if you continues to navigate after this delay, a new session will occur. Same applies, if you keep open the tab for a whole day. See the attitude image for more understanding. Hope this clear your confusion! Umar bounce-rate-lrg.png

Hi Sarwan - if you're not seeing those in Google's index, it suggest they can't crawl/index that content. You can test it out via Fetch as Google, which will show you what's Google's seeing. With video content, I might suggest using a text transcript, like Moz does on our Whiteboard Friday.

Hi there Craig makes a great point here - always have second sets of data to reference when it comes to backlinks and site performance. Crawlers from one vendor can only do so much, and other vendors sometimes pick up what others are not. Majestic and ahrefs are great, but also pay attention to Google Search Console, as those are the links that Google is seeing. If you want to give yourself an extra advantage, check out Kerboo - it scores your backlinks and also has a ton of great features to help you assess and maintain your profile. Hope this helps! Good luck!

Hi Sarwan! The rel canonical will not change the URL opened in a browser. It will only be a signal to the search engines to count links for docbeans.com/index as links to docbeans.com and to threat them as a single URL in regards to ranking. Also, doing the 301 redirect shouldn't really have an impact with load times, as the redirects happens before loading any content. As they both load the same content, I guess this is because the docbean.com is really an alias for docbean.com/index. Hope this helps. Anders

Hi Sarwan, It could be that this will not work because you use a CDN for serving both images and video content. According to https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/178636?hl=en you have to prove ownership to the CDN hosting site before this will be allowed. Perhpas this is the same with video, as it talks about having to verify the CDN hosting site in Search Console before being indexed/crawled. Good luck with this! Anders

if you have your data on your keywords. both rankings and traffic. you could also get his rankings on the same keywords and make an estimation on how much traffic it should be.
