Managing Domain Extensions

If these questions aren't in the right subreddit I apologize in advance. I haven't personally managed my SEO in over a decade.

I have an outdated e-commerce site on my .com domain. I'm building a new one from scratch & beta testing on my .co domain, so there's no customer confusion or lost orders. My questions are, upon completion would it be better to point the .com to the new site? Or forward the .com to .co & manage the 301 redirects on the server side?

I'm going to have 301's on every page regardless because the old e-commerce platform was proprietary & the urls are universally formatted in a way that I don't want to duplicate. Ultimately I'd like to have both sites active as we work to setup all the redirects, and then convert to using the .co domain exclusively going forward. Assuming it's not going to harm our SEO for some reason.

The .co site is not currently indexed, but I have claimed the domain with the search engines if that matters.

If I'm missing information or anything is confusing I'm happy to try to clarify. I'm self taught for web design and SEO, so I don't know what I don't know.

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
