Sheffielder Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 I'm assuming that some of you guys will have your forum on a subdomain (e.g. www.yoursite.com/forums) If so how to you avoid the Avoid landing page redirects warning given on speedtests?

opentype Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 How do you do the redirect? There are different methods, which take more or less time. But it should be clear that if you test a site that generates a redirect, there is nothing to “work around” that redirect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheffielder Posted February 14, 2018 Author Share Posted February 14, 2018 Yeah I'm thinking this is something I'm not going to be able to improve I've got it set at the domain registrar firstly I'm on https and have the forums in a www.website.com/forums I have the following on GMetrix..Avoid landing page redirects for the following chain of redirected URLs. http://www.forum.co.uk/ http://www.forum.co.uk/forums/ https://www.forum.co.uk/forums/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bfarber Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 If you have a redirect set up, then you can't avoid it as mentioned. You could run Pages out of your root directory and run the forums out of a virtual /forums/ directory (this would all sort of happen out of the box) if you got rid of the redirect. This would probably be the most ideal long-term solution, but making these changes will result in some redirects for existing pages in the short term.
