When building a niche website, should I focus on one category only?

I noticed that my competitors focus only on one category/sub-topic, while I cover four categories/sub-topics on my blog. The categories are related to each other, though.

Does this put me at a disadvantage? Will it take longer for me to rank compared to my competitors because each category needs its own topical authority? How does this work?

Example: let's say my blog covers strength training, nutrition, yoga, and mental health, while my competitors focus on just one - e.g. only yoga, only nutrition, or only strength training.

Does focusing on multiple categories dilute my topical authority compared to them? Would it be better to narrow my focus to one category, or is it still possible to build authority across all four topics over time?

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 ...
