Google Search brings up https homepage?

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I noticed something today when our site was loading slowly. Google is showing our homepage as https://jewelryfindings-online.com  even when you type http://www.jewelryfindings-online.com in the search you get the other address. I don't fully understand this does anyone know why? I don't feel we should be using the secure side of things for the homepage. Seems considerably slower. Any help appreciated.
Thanks
Chris

	Mark Shipp and I have also seen this occur. I don't presently have a solution but you are not alone in this issue.

	Hmmm. I thought that a 301 redirect in the web.config file might work. And, it does... Until you get to the checkout when you want it to go to SSL. Any more info on this, or a solution would be appreciated as we are seeing this on a couple of client's sites too.

	I don't know enough about this but in the google webmaster forum I found a similar post and this is the answer someone gave: "For the record, in Java, it seems that response.sendRedirect automatically sets status to 302 (overriding manual set 301). Ex: response.setStatus(HttpServletResponse.SC_MOVED_PERMANENTLY); response.setHeader("Location", app.getUrlSecure(true) + requesthistory.getLocalUrl()); response.sendRedirect(app.getUrlSecure(true) + requesthistory.getLocalUrl()); return; So, removing the last two lines might have fixed the problem." Would this have anything to do with the issue? I am using a 301 redirect on the homepage

	You can put a canonical tag on the homepage with http. That should do the trick. <link rel="canonical" href="http://www.abc.com/" >

	Ok thanks for the advice, this would be placed in the header section of the product cart homepage? Currently that is something like ... http://www.mystore.com/store/pc/home.asp

	It looks like your site already has the canonical on your homepage.

	Ok, looks like there is one there. <link rel="canonical" href="http://www.jewelryfindings-online.com/store/pc/home.asp" /> It must have been there since the site first went up...based on that I would say your solution is not working

	I was just looking at the 301 redirect for the homepage which is this: <% Response.Status="301 Moved Permanently" Response.AddHeader "Location", "/store/pc/home.asp" %> Do you think the problem could have arisen because the full path to the home page is not there?
