Website ranking declined after connecting to CDN

 Hi! We are trying to rank https://windowmart.ca for various local search terms. Our head office is in Edmonton where we try to rank https://windowmart.ca/edmonton-windows-doors/ for such terms as "windows Edmonton", "replacement windows Edmonton", "windows and doors Edmonton" as well as others. The website was the leader in its niche for around 2 years. Then we've got some server related issues, moved to a new server and connected CDN Nitropack that really improved our google speed test results. Recently we noticed that our rankings started to drop. Do you know if Nitropack can negatively effect local SEO rankings? Thank you!

 @karthickvelu thank you, we'll monitor links and search console

 @vaskrupp Check out your CDN settings - your CDN should work on your subdomain. If your CDN works on your CDN provider's domain - it can be the cause of this rank drop. Another thing to rule out is some issues with canonicals. If your site's canonicals had some small issues that you could have ignored prior to moving to CDN, they will be amplified, and may cause the traffic drop. Of course, there could be some options with the CDN in your particular local market. If the first two are ruled out, try switching to another CDN provider. Hope my advice will help. Let me know if you have any further questions, and do reply with the details when your issue will be resolved.

 @vaskrupp Have you checked the recent backlink profile? Is there any dropping? If not, please be patient and keep monitoring the Search console.

		Redirecting an Entire Website?
 Is it best to redirect an old website to a new website page by page to like pages or just the entire site all at once to the home page of the new site? I do have about 10 good pages on the site that are worth directing to corresponding pages on the new site. Just trying to figure out what is going to preserve the most link juice. Thanks for the help! Technical SEO | | photoseo10

		My website is constantly decreasing
 For few weeks ago my website is constantly decreasing in search position. I lost keywords and is gooooing down. Technical SEO | | Dan_Tala
 Although it is well rated on several on page and off page seo verification software that I have tried.
 I checked Google search console and Analytics and found no major problems. However… from one day to another it keeps going down.
 I also checked what the main competitors are doing and they are not doing well, at all.
 The main competitor actually has a creepy website. Totally devoid of onpage or offpage SEO but with an enormous number of backlinks. And of a very bad quality, which should disqualify it, still…
 Few weeks ago I changed something.
 In the pages I had H1, 4xH2, no H3 and an H4 without content.
 An unnatural H tag structure.
 Now I have H1, H2, H3, 3xH4, with the coherent information.
 Theoretically, Google should have been “happy” or I’m missing something. I use a SAAS platform.
 I just found out that they made changes to the keywords (tags).
 I am selling toner cartridges for printers.
 So…
 The tags are printer models and generate a url in which they have the products.
 Ex. https://www.sertit.ro/cartus-imprimanta-cilindru-color-hp-laserjet-pro-m-177fw goes to the products for that printer model.
 The question is… should I make tag canonical?
 Is it possible for products to loose so much in Google search?0

		How to SEO a Website Built off Godaddy?
 I have a client whose website is built off Godaddy services. I know Godaddy is not the right choice for building a website, but what's done is done. The client has already bought the Godaddy services and there's no way I can tell him to go rebuild his website before we could optimize it for SEO. I'm already facing a lot of challenges while optimizing on-page elements. When I wanted to verify the ownership for Google Analytics and Webmaster Tool via his Godaddy account. the process failed many times. it looks like Godaddy is using some kind of caching not allowing us to modify the codes. For example, I'd applied the site verification codes for Webmasters Tool 48 hours ago, and the metatag for google site verification is not yet updated in the frontend. It's quite frustrating. What would you suggest? Technical SEO | | suskanchan1
