When changing the entire permalink structure from www to ww2 urls, will this affect the SEO too? we will of course add the 301 redirect etc, but will the new ww2 url be less prioritize than www? How is it with the previous link power etc? they are pointed at the www url. Thx
You need to change your page platform, as you said on another forum. You could go with domain.tld or HTTPS? You will likely need to do a 301. Then create a new sitemap too. For redirecting a www URL to a non-www URL: Options +FollowSymLinks RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^example\.com RewriteRule (.*) http://example.com/$1 Code (markup): I believe that should work fine. There are better guides out there, I'm sure.
Ofcourse it will hurt your website from the SEO perspective. What is the main reason, why would you like to shift to ww2?
I think if you use redirect then you will see drop in ranking but it will recover within in 1 month as well.
