Permalink Structure Change and Redirect Questions

I have blog pages have been set up to include the date in the url.
Ex: clientname / 2014 / 09 / dwi-lawyers-mn-choose /
Am I correct in assuming that Google is looking at this page as being at a click depth of 3? (And therefore being a page that Google is less likely to crawl)

My larger issue is if I should change the permalink structure to not include the date in the URL. I mean, I don't want the date in the URL, but I'm wondering about the work it would take to manually redirect 300 pages, and all the other issues that could arise. Like if I change the Permalink structure, what happens to all the existing pages? Also, losing rank isn't really an issue because the traffic is super low anyway.

I would use Yoast Premium, but the client doesn't want to pay for it.

Any clarification would be much appreciated! Thanks!

HTTP-HTTPS redirects: domain level or each URL?

Googling for answers seems to give conflicting answers here. We have a domain that has been HTTP but some individual URLs have been HTTPS (like form pages). We are about to deploy HTTPS redirect on the server to get everything going to https://www.domain.com . Do we have to go to the effort of a big 301 redirect list of all page-level URLs without Google dropping our earned page rank?

One website, two properties (domains)

I wasn't sure how to frame that title so let me explain; Due to error on my part, I have ended up with, a www.xyz.com , version of my website, and one that's just xyz.com. Now I'm tracking my traffic differently on GSC and GA. I'm not sure how to feel about this. Is there anyone with a similar situation? Should I just go on like usual or are there things I need to start doing differently? Kindly advise. submitted by /u/Blessed_Dude_101010 [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/87Z2MRA
