Server behaviour7.8
404 page
Compression
- This website handles missing pages correctly by sending a 404 HTTP status code.
- This website was served with GZIP encoding. This is very good because it reduces the loading time of a web page.
- This website returns page content with or without a trailing slash on the URLs. Search engines might see these as separate pages with duplicate content which they could penalise for.
- Use a 301 redirect or a canonical meta tag to force search engines to see the correct version.
- This website uses a temporary (HTTP 302) redirect from http://www.trafficsigns.com to http://trafficsigns.com. This is OK, but a permanent (HTTP 301) redirect is considered best practice.
- If possible, change the temporary redirect to a permanent (HTTP 301) redirect.
