Risk of losing SEO after a website redesign

Hi,so there is a built with Wordpress website which I had to redesign recently.

I used a different builder, the text is new, the graphics are new, basically most of the inside of the website is new. The elements that are the same are 1. links, 2. posts.

My redesign got 99/100 Google PageSpeed score and the website I'm redesigning has 65/90. My weights 340KB, old 1.3MB.

Now to the question - I recently told the owner that I'm very close to the finish and if he has any questions, etc. and he told me that he asked a guy who built the previous website his opinion and this guy told him that it is a very stupid idea to change his website to my because "the structure" of the website is completely new and he will lose all his SEO value and his website will dump in Google search. He suggested that instead of putting my website live he should hire somebody (him) to redesign his website to my 'look' without changing the structure as much as I did.

I'm wondering how close to the truth he is? His current website didn't have H1 for years and I don't know if I should trust a guy who did this about any SEO tips.

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
