303 redirect

[lape]

my site www.love4deco.com does a 303 redirect to www.love4deco.com/nl how can i change this to a 301?

I was just thinking the exact same thing. Isn't a 301 better for passing link juice etc?

[pel024]

Both http://dermalsense.com and http://www.dermalsense.com/ redirect to http://www.dermalsense.com/en with a 303.

 

Does anyone know why (or indeed if) this is necessary, and if not, how they can be changed to 301's?

[pel024]

This seems to be caused by the canonical redirection. In FrontController.php:

 

if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] == __PS_BASE_URI__)
 {
  header('HTTP/1.0 303 See Other');
  header('Cache-Control: no-cache');
 }
 else
 {
  header('HTTP/1.0 301 Moved Permanently');
  header('Cache-Control: no-cache');
 }

 

Could anyone shed any light on this? Is it necessary to use the 303?

[pel024]

I've now changed this to a 301 redirect by editing FrontController.php. This doesn't seem to create any problems but I would love to hear anyone's thoughts on this. I assume there must be some reason why PrestaShop uses a 303.

 

Anyone?

I have notice it too, and also notice it that increase page load time with about half second with canonical url enabled.
