      All of my image links are hosted on secureservercdn.net. for example, if i go to a webpage, mydomain.com/blog/blog-post and right click any image with a "copy image address" the images are all linking to secureservercdn.net/blablabla rather than mydomain.com/wp-uploads/blalblabla. this cannot be good for SEO. Any ideas why this would be? My site is hosted through GoDaddy, is it on their end?

      Thanks,

      Ryan

        @ryanmeighan It is the CDN service of GoDaddy. You can turn off this from your website panel on GoDaddy. On the other hand, it may cause a decrease in your page speed. Therefore, please double-check.

          @ryanmeighan - Sorry to see you didn't get an answer to this sooner.

          The reason you're seeing 'https://secureservercdn.net' is because the CDN is serving those assets. While your site's permalinks/pathways should be explicit to your domain, the site assets to compose the site do not, and it will not impact your SEO. If anything it typically helps deliver the site faster to customers.

          The only time it would is if there was a CDN configuration issue causing errors on the site.

            Site Migration - Pagination

            Hi, We are migrating our website and an issue we are facing is how to handle paginated content in our categories. Our new website will have the same structure but with different urls. Should we 301 redirect all the paginated content (if crawled by Google) to the url of the main category? To put this into an example: Old urls: www.example.com/technology/tvs      (main category of TVs & also page 1) ** www.example.com/technology/tvs?v=0&page=2 **    ( page 2 of TVs) New urls: **www.example.com/soundvision/tvs     **(main category of TVs & also page 1) **www.example.com/soundvision/tvs?page=2       **(page 2 of tvs) Should we redirect  all of the old TV urls (also the paginated) to www.example.com/soundvision/tvs ? The is no rel next, prev tag in our site and no canonicals. Also there is a view all products page in each category, BUT it doesn't contain all the products(max. is 100 per page - yes the view all page is also paginated). The same view all products page (paginated) will exist in the new website also. I checked google search console, and Google has decided to treat as canonical page the first page www.example.com/technology/tvs . Also, all the organic traffic of our categories goes to these pages (main category page - 1st page). I would appreciate any thoughts on this.

            Image Audit: Getting a list of *ALL* Images on a Site?

            Hello! We are doing an image optimization audit, and are therefore trying to find a way to get a list of all images on a site.  Screaming Frog seems like a great place to start (as per this helpful article:  https://azwa.1clkaccess.in/ugc/how-to-perform-an-image-optimization-audit), but unfortunately, it doesn't include images in CSS.  😞 Does the community have any ideas for how we try to otherwise get list of images? Thanks in advance for any tips/advice.

            If Robots.txt have blocked an Image (Image URL) but the other page which can be indexed has this image, how is the image treated?

            Hi MOZers, This probably is a dumb question but I have a case where the robots.tags has an image url blocked but this image is used on a page (lets call it Page A) which can be indexed. If the image on Page A has an Alt tags, then how is this information digested by crawlers? A) would Google totally ignore the image and the ALT tags information? OR B) Google would consider the ALT tags information? I am asking this because all the images on the website are blocked by robots.txt at the moment but I would really like website crawlers to crawl the alt tags information. Chances are that I will ask the webmaster to allow indexing of images too but I would like to understand what's happening currently. Looking forward to all your responses 🙂 Malika

            Micro sites?

            Hi, I have been speaking to seo firms regarding strategies and they mentioned setting up micro sites under domains that are relevant. i.e setting up armanidoamin.co.uk and we use it as a blog type site to update all info, product reviews, news relating to armani. Whats peoples thoughts on this? Does it work? Is it worth the effort? Im not so sure but obviously looking for ideas. Cheers

            How To Best Close An eCommerce Site?

            We're closing down one of our eCommerce sites. What is the best approach to do this? The site has a modest link profile (a young site). It does have a run of site link to the parent site. It also has a couple hundred email subscribers and established accounts. Is there a gradual way to do this? How do I treat the subscribers and account holders? The impact won't be great, but I want to minimize collateral damage as much as possible. Thanks.
