Hello! and thank you for your time!!

I have the www and non-www of my site google indexed. From what I understand this is duplicate content and therefore not good. Is this a major problem seo wise? Remedy?? I'm pretty sure all www URLs are redirected to non-www. NON WWW is my preference but at the same time not sure it matters

Side note: I'm seeing about 550 www redirects (out of 898) in my google console - Indexing/Pages/Page indexing>Page with redirect (under Why pages aren’t indexed/reason).

Side note: Not sure if this is relevant or perhaps it's an seo "issue" in itself, but..) but as I was recreating the site (from joomla to wp) I created about 1100 redirects from URLs containg category(s), sub-categories, tags, and articles to a URL just containg the post. I can provide examples.

Again, THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME, SUGGESTIONS, THOUGHTS, INSTRUCTIONS, AND YOUR WISDOM!, ETC.

When I say lose all of the content from the above example URLs, I mean lose all the content from the above pages.

If I 301 redirect all existing URLs (rewrite URLs) from the old (joomla) website (soon to be old site once I launch the new website) to the new (wordpress) website, wouldn't I lose the content from all of the old rewrite URL pages??

In other words (I hope I'm explaining this properly) if I currently have 100 URLs (rewrite URLs), all with different content/meta data, and I redirect all of them to one URL, wouldn't I lose the content from all of those rewrite URLs??

For example:

If I redirect .com/programs-we-offer/abc-loan-program and .com/programs-we-offer/xyz-loan-program and .com/programs-we-offer/zyx-loan-program and .com/programs-we-offer/xx-loan-program To .com/programs-we-offer

Wouldn't I then lose all of the content from the above example URLs?

Note: In an effort to retain existing site page(s) rank, I’m trying to recreate the new site as similar as I can (right?) to the existing site.

Thank you for your time. I greatly appreciate it!

Hello,

My site is currently in Joomla and I'm in the process of recreating it in wp. The joomla site has had the url rewrite on for a few years. So, I'm not sure how to handle it. There are a couple hundred that rank 1st page. I was thinking 301 redirect to the first part of the destination url? For example:

.com/154-unconventional-mortgage-lenders/non-qm-lenders/programs-we-offer/365-non-prime-full-doc

redirect to:

.com/154-unconventional-mortgage-lenders or .com/unconventional-mortgage-lenders

1 more question. As you can see, there are item id's in the the url. Should I keep those id's?

Thank you for your time..
