Hi guys!

In Google analitycs i have separate traffic values for:

/ and
/index.php

do you think it would be good to make a redirect to “pack” those results?

Would it be better to redirect to “/” or “/index.php” ?

Thankyou!

Yeah, for SEO never split any URL.

If you don’t do anything with your standard EE installation you’ll split your Google Power between:

http://www.yourdomain.com
http://www.yourdomain.com/
http://www.yourdomain.com/index.php
http://www.yourdomain.com/index.php/
yourdomain.com
yourdomain.com/
yourdomain.com/index.php
yourdomain.com/index.php/

The best is to do some changes in your htaccess-file:

RewriteEngine On

# add slash to every URL
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !example.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(.*)/$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ <a href="http://yourdomain.com/$1/">http://yourdomain.com/$1/</a> [L,R=301]

#Redirect from www to non-www
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.yourdomain\.com [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) <a href="http://yourdomain.com/$1">http://yourdomain.com/$1</a> [R=301,L]


#Removes index.php from the URL
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L]

Change “yourdomain” to your domain in the code. 😊

Ozse Thankyou very much!!!

Just a question i don’t need to remove index.php from the url (I am scared about it ... 😉 ) what about a 301 redirect from “/” to “/index.php” ?

Thanks!
