Question regarding URL slugging/redirecting a sites homepage for SEO benefit?

Something like this? Basicially, I'm using wix & I'm in the SEO settings for the page, & it's asking me to set my homepages URL slug. I don't have one though. my sites .com address brings up the homepage not .com/home. & it wont let me leave it blank. If I just add say /home wont that be bad for my SEO as there will be 2 addresses? Also if set, the .com/home address wont work unless I add a 301 redirect, then it'll redirect to .com . Will that affect my SEO? This seems extra. For no benefit. If I added keywords into the slug instead of it being just/home, would that help my SEO? Wouldnt google just index the .com version though & not the .com/home version though because of the 301 redirect? Thus the keywords not helping? What about if I do a domain redirect instead & redirect people going to .com to a URL slug of .com/home ? That wouldn't help SEO I don't think though, unless it was .com/home-keyword or something right? In that case would it help or would Google be indexing 2 sites? This is annoying, seeing as wix wont just let me leave the URL slug for my homepage blank.

Thoughts anyone?

Will any of this positively affect my SEO positively or negatively?

Is it just redundant nonsense?

Any ways to get around it?

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? Thanks all! submitted by /u/runtmc2 [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/31dJ82b

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
