Some links that worked on the previous site stopped working. These links might be laying around the web on third party sites.

Especially, links to the past events, e.g. http://www.frontendisti.cz/predchozi-srazy/#reactjs could easily be just redirected (/predchozi-srazy to /archiv-akci).

I've just added this redirect. Could you please provide a list of legacy links to be redirected?

Thanks. Currently I am not aware of any other legacy link 😄

I've looked into Google Search Console and out of 1000 404s there are a few links heading to the older domain with www, especially on YouTube. Problem is that currently we are not able to handle redirects across domains in TwigYard so everything from the www domain is redirected to / on the non-www (primary) domain.

I clearly remember the moment in Basecamp when we decided to prefer non-www domain over www but I'm afraid nobody was aware of consequences 😀. (And I think the old website was running on both domains in parallel…)

Solutions are:

  • switch back to the www version
  • manually change links on YouTube and ignore external links 🐼
  • extend twigyard/twigyard to handle cross-domain redirects – it's opensource, meldet sich jemand? 🐳
