I did the redirect from my old domain store to a new domain using 301 rules on .htaccess as simplified below:

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /store/catalogsearch/result/index/ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ www.newdomain.com/? [L,R=301]

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9} /([^/]+/)*(default|index).(html|php|htm) HTTP/ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(([^/]+/)*)(default|main|index).(html|php|htm)$ www.newdomain.com/ [R=301,NC]

RewriteRule ^store/?$ www.newdomain.com [L,NC,R=301]
RewriteRule ^store/index.php$ www.newdomain.com [L,NC,R=301]
RewriteRule ^store/directory/?$ www.newdomain.com/new-directory-1/ [L,NC,R=301]
RewriteRule ^store/product.html$ www.store.com/product [L,NC,R=301]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?olddomain.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ www.newdomain.com/ [R=301,NE,L]


But after months, my Page Authority still is 1 against 17 on old domain. So, I have some questions:


Do I need to have a rule to redirect robots and sitemap files from my old domain to the new domain?
Do I need to keep my robots and sitemap files in old domain?
How long does it take to recover my old Page Authority if possible?
