How to handle old events

My client has years of event pages and old blogs (think 2011-2016) that cause a variety of issues, including HTTPS pages leads to HTTP page, missing meta descriptions, internal links with nofollow, duplicate content issues, etc.

Moving forward, I am going to recommend to them to just have one page for each annual event and update that same page each year.

I'm curious if it's worth retroactively fixing some of these issues by either deleting all of the old event pages, or fixing the issues on each page. These pages don't get a lot of traffic because obviously no one needs information on a 2015 event in 2023.

The blogs are not event related so I don't think I want to delete them, but is it worth fixing issues on these pages if they don't get a ton of traffic? I think the answer is no but need a gut check.

Local seo vs. natiowide seo?

I've done SEO for local businesses but I recently got my first client that sells an item nation wide. ​ Any suggestions for doing nationwide SEO? ​ I am used to making geopages for local towns.

Clients site has a weird issue with 302 redirects that I haven't seen before.

Site is in Drupal, hosted on Amazon CDN & Cloudflare. So here's a quick breakdown: The site itself works normally. It's a bit dated, but you can click on links and navigate around as you'd expect. Seeing no obvious issues, I run a Screaming Frog crawl to begin my audit. Only 5 pages were picked up by the crawl which was super weird, since all internal links are regular html and there shouldn't be any issues. So I go through the site and manually collect a bunch of URLs, which I submit to SF again as a list. Every single link bar the 5 originally crawled return a 302, with the 'redirect' pointing back to the home page. Except as I said, those pages don't browser redirect. Browser side, they work fine. I guess they redirect the crawl bot though, since the rest of the site is functionally invisible. Other tools I've looked at say that the pages return simultaneous 302 and 200s, which doesn't make too much sense. These 302s are also old enough ...
