: Redirect to new page without seo loss I have a WordPress powered site which ranks very well on Google (example.com). Half a year a go I started a side project at a subdomain (subdomain.example.com)

I have a WordPress powered site which ranks very well on Google (example.com). Half a year a go I started a side project at a subdomain (subdomain.example.com) although it is indexed by google, it doesn't rank very well. The side project has become the main project now so I want to replace example.com with subdomain.example.com.

My question is: How can I make this switch without affecting the SEO ranking?

My idea was too keep the old site up but only redirect via JavaScript to subdomain.example.com so the old pages will remain indexed and help me with the ranking.

I recommend to you the plugin for Wordpress called Redirection.
You can do this task in a easy way just pointing the old URL and the new one to replace.

Plugin Redirection > Quick Redirects (301 Redirects) - wordpress.org/plugins/redirection/

First of all - you need to use 301 redirect.

The best effect will be if yoy redirect each url (one by one) to new location . You can do it using .htaceess, or there should be same plugin for it in WP ( plugin must be able to write redirect location in each page/entry/article )
