Traffic Dropping To Website – WordPress Page Attachment Issues?
-
Hi
In Google Analytics:
I have noticed up to 50% of traffic coming to the website drops off at the home page point, and drops further from other pages on the site. I realise some may possibly say that this could be down to various factors such as server issues, poor web design, or the wrong traffic reaching the site. I am getting WordPress page attachment issues in WordPress using the Yoast SEO plugin ( the redirects option in Yoast doesn’t fix the problem).I did correct the following:
1) There was an issue with there being https://www.domain.com and https://www.domain.com/home, Screaming Frog and Moz showed that these both had duplicate meta tagging issues. Initially I had created a separate page called ‘home’ to include in the main nav bar under the slider, but yesterday I replaced this page with a request in the functions.php to place ‘home’ in the nav bar as a redirect back to the home https://www.domain.com page. This works great. So I now have the following 301 permanent redirects: non-www to www resolve in the htaccess file, plus 2 permanent 301 redirects in the nav bar. I wonder if this is acceptable protocol re the nav bar redirects, and I wonder if you could possibly advise if the actions that I have taken will have any negative impact on the web seo, link structure, crawlability or indexing.
Thanks.
