Search Engine Optimisation for my (301 redirected) WordPress website

  • My site was on WordPress under the domain name self catering accommodation belfast dot com for I’m guessing a few years and after some good advice on this forum a couple of months ago I installed Yoast for SEO. It seemed to be working and I also used onpage.org/ to encourage me to do some work on it. The site was definitely listed on the major search engines and was easy to find on the first page.

    About a month ago (for business reasons) I took on a new domain central belfast apartments dot com and asked my web editor to do a 301 redirect which is working however even though Yoast shows ‘Good job! We could detect no serious SEO problems.’ it does not appear to be linked by google to the search term central belfast apartments even though the domain is definitely registered and returning the various site pages when the domain name is searched for.

    When I go to onpage.org and check the domain it says ‘cURL error 28: Operation timed out after 10000 milliseconds with 0 bytes received (see https://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/libcurl-errors.html)’. This is with or without the www.

    Can I ask for some advice on this please?

  • What version of PHP are you using?

    I’m not really sure what you mean but I’ve logged into my web space provider and can see it is a .mysql & also “PHP & Database – MariaDB” – is that what you mean?

    Your host should be able to tell you. Older versions of PHP caused some cURL problems.

    I’ve just spoken to one.com who host the sites and they tell me ‘it is currently using 5.6 we do support PHP version up to 7.1 if you wish to upgrade’

    Should I ask for an upgrade? (free)

    OK, I’ve taken a chance and upgraded it to 7.1 but the same problem is still there – cURL error 28: Operation timed out after 10000 milliseconds with 0 bytes received (see https://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/libcurl-errors.html)
