Updated Website removing URL slug extension. How to mitigate SEO impact? ("about.php" to "about")

Our office hired a developer to create a new website for us (via Webflow, if helpful). One of our initial requirements was that we match all URL slugs, so as not to impact our search rankings.

The old website's URL slugs ended in ".php". The new website slugs have no extension. I was told that the proper resolution is to incorporate 301 redirects to avoid broken links. This is not my area of expertise, and I wanted to confirm with a community more knowledgeable than I if this is the only/best resolution to our situation.

Thanks in advance!

Edit:
I suppose the more appropriate question is - Will 301 redirects hurt our search performance?

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
