303 redirect - multilanguage site

Post by studio204 » Sat Dec 31, 2011 11:58 am

Hello and Happy New Year :)

My site is on Joomla 1.7.3 and uses 2 languages - English and Russian. The problem is that I always receive 303 instead of 301 redirect, which is not good for search engines...
I checked with different services like host-tracker. com - with the same result: error 303.

My site is http://gez21.ru

Is there any solution for this problem - to receive 301 redirect and not 303?

Thank you in advance

I checked your website using these below tools and both of them returned 301 redirect which is fine for search engines.

Code: Select all

I wrote that post more than month ago.
Yes, there IS a 303 redirect.
I had to change the code to receive 301. The file is

libraries/joomla/application/application.php

I changed

Code: Select all

header($moved ? 'HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently' : 'HTTP/1.1 303 See other');
to

Code: Select all

header($moved ='HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently');
So, now there is 301 redirect.
