AmbientLife

Did anybody get an answer to this?

Hi, I am not an experienced website designer but have a question regarding 302 temp redirects that appear to be generated by Squarespace on drop down menus. I have attached a file below showing 116 302s that are coming from 3 drop down menus that I have on my website. https://www.ambientlife.co.uk These are showing in ahefs and I am not sure if this is something that I need to try and fix, if its stopping anything in my SEO being as effective as it should or indeed if its having a negative impact in anyway of ranking etc. I would really appreciate some advice from those out there that know about these things. I did read from one post on here a whole back that somebody removed the slug from the dropdown to 'fix' it but when I looked at this I noted that the system just generated a new one anyway so I can not see this is a sensible fix. Is there a code (that works) so these are seen in a healthy light in regard to SEO or is it not something I should be concerned about? I am not concerned that the drop downs are not 'clickable' as I feel they look okay the way that they work, its just if they are damaging SEO or ranking because they are flagging as errors on ahefs... Massive thanks in advance for anyone who can help or advise. Best Tim

Hi, Looking for some advice as I am by no means a web designer and I have built my new website on here at Squarespace but its all very new to me how all this works and I am the least technical person you will ever meet... I am subscribed to the 'Business Plan' and I want to know if I can add a member only area to my website that would take users into a bunch of pages that I would create that they would pay to access that content. My plan is to write some Indepth tutorials regarding how I do my work and that content has a value so I don't really want to simply put it out there, hence looking at a paid area. I have no idea how to do this and whilst I am keen to look at this I don't want to change my subscription the way it is at the moment really too much or indeed change how my site currently content works. Also and importantly I don't want to make any changes that may impact SEO negatively, or course. I would be very grateful of any advice on if I can do this and where / how? Many thanks in advance. My website is at www.ambientlife.co.uk Thanks in advance for any help offered. Tim

Thanks @melody495 I had not thought of that. I have my site on my main company domain of www.ambientlife.co.uk but I have been through and made sure that 'redrose' does not feature in any of the internal linking. Thanks again Tim

Thanks @Lesum really appreciate all your advice and help. This is what is in the header at the moment, too much? asterisk on purpose for posting on here buddy 😉 <!-- Google Tag Manager --> <script>(function(w,d,s,l,i){w[l]=w[l]||[];w[l].push({'gtm.start': new Date().getTime(),event:'gtm.js'});var f=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0], j=d.createElement(s),dl=l!='dataLayer'?'&l='+l:'';j.async=true;j.src= 'https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtm.js?id='+i+dl;f.parentNode.insertBefore(j,f); })(window,document,'script','dataLayer','GTM-K****JP');</script> <!-- End Google Tag Manager --> <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.5.0/jquery.min.js"></script> <script> $(document).ready(function () { $("body").on("contextmenu",function(e){ return false; }); }); </script> <link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="https://www.ambientlife.co.uk/s/icon-100x100.png"> And in CSS; blockquote {border-left: 7px solid #99230A;padding-left: 2em;}@media screen and (max-width: 767px) {.header-menu-nav-item a {font-size: 20px;font-weight: 400;}}.header-nav-folder-item a {padding-top: 4px !important;}html {scroll-behavior: smooth;}.header-nav a:hover{color:#99230A!important}@media screen and (max-width:767px) {footer.sections * {font-size: 12px !important;}}.header-nav-folder-title {pointer-events: none;}

Thanks @Lesum So this goes in the main > Website > Pages > Website Tools > Code Injection > Header. and not in the CSS for that page... Do you think its worth doing as I don't want to slow my site down with too much in the main CSS?

Thank you, I read the help links and checked site:red-rose-3mdf.squarespace.com Google is indexing that, soooooo not sure what is best to do now Totally understand what you are saying about not using my company name though for those reasons, makes sense now I think of it. What would you suggest? My business site sits on www.ambientlife.co.uk and works well with google It was just the fact I see <!-- This is Squarespace. --><!-- red-rose-3mdf --> when I look at source. Maybe I am being too picky? Would appreciate experienced advice. Thank you Tim

Hi Lesum, Thanks buddy for the reply. My main site is at https://www.ambientlife.co.uk The 2 pages that I have additional as landing ones if you like are the ones that I can not get an ALT tag into. These are: https://www.ambientlife.co.uk/intro Example ALT - Automotive and Aviation based photography from commercial photographer Tim Wallace. https://www.ambientlife.co.uk/intro-transport-photography Example ALT - Car, Truck and Aviation based images from commercial photographer Tim Wallace. Hope this helps and thank you very much for taking a look for me, much appreciated. Tim

I only ask because it shows in the page source of my live site at www.ambientlife.co.uk as below; <!-- This is Squarespace. --><!-- red-rose-3mdf --> So therefore I wanted to know if i could change it and get some additional benefit by having my company name in there instead. Obviously without messing up any of my site build or links? Thank you very much in advance for any advice and help. Tim

Thanks, I am no expert here so how and where would I do that please?

Hi, yes sorry I thought I had included it, https://www.ambientlife.co.uk

Hi, I have a site that I have built and its on a domain that I use for my business, www.ambientlife.co.uk I noted that if I look at the site code it shows the old Squarespace domain in there from when I first started the account and I read on the help pages that you can change this at anytime. However when I look at doing that there is a warning that it could affect links etc and as I am very new to all this I wanted some solid advice before I go and break something! <!-- This is Squarespace. --><!-- red-rose-3mdf --> Am I okay to change this to something like 'AmbientLife' rather than what it is now, I looked somebody else's site that has their own domain and saw they had clearly changed theres to something more inline with who they were. Code example below. Many thanks in advance.

Hi, I have a front page that has a white space showing between the bottom of the main section and the footer, The pages are all set to be the off white so it stick out a bit and only happens on the front page. I have tried to find out where to change that in the colour editor but nothing seems to impact on it and I wondered if anyone had a solution or a fix maybe? New to all this so... Massive thanks in advance for any help, have attached a few screen grabs that may help explain and also show how that front page is set up etc. Thank you! Tim

Hi, Could I get some advice please on something. I know literally nothing about robots and have seen that my robots.txt file reads as below. Is this normal and allowing Google to crawl my entire site correctly? Thank you in advance for any support and advice.

Thank you! there are over 3,500 links into the old site (same domain) but most are to the actual domain name and not a sub I understand what you’re saying
