Hi there,
I hope I find you well.
I'm wondering if you can help me, my old Joomla website had 430 redirects on it's htaccess file and I'm wondering if I should copy them over to the new htaccess or do all the 301 redirects through sh404sef? At the moment my htaccess is blank bar the rewrite element, and sh404sef has so far found 150 of the old URLs, and all in all there will be 500 URLs once my old to new website redirects have been factored in.
Is it best to add the old redirects to htaccess or wait for sh404sef to find all of them?
Also the old website was HTTP, the new website is HTTPS, and I would normally just redirect page to page in htaccess and all would be well, so if I do a sh404sef redirect will it automatically transfer from the old HTTP URL to the new HTTPS option?
Finally, in the 404 requests section of sh404sef, it is offering some URLs such as .well-known/assetlinks.json and administrator/components/com_admin/cacheplugin.php, should I redirect those to live pages or leave them as 404's.
Many thanks in advance, all the very best, Barry.
