Google dont respect 301 redirect

[mirkoxxl]

I have 301 redirect on my old site to new one but google constantly indexing content from new website on my old website. https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=site%3Aordaz.se
I had very good progress, but maybe the duplicate content in the google search crashed it. I am very disappointed and I don't know where the mistake is..

Now I change page by page redirect and add 301 redirect from all pages to new site homepage, but again cached homepage old site is new site..

Redirect is almost 1 year old but its still 150k indexed pages on google.. I don't get it..

How you did redirects? .htaccess? Did you kept link structure and exact titles?

Google has been a serious pain in the ass for one of the sites I maintain. The site has about 5000 pages, but Google is trying to locate like 40k links because a plugin went haywire sometime ago. Now Google is trying to find those pages and has been doing so for over 6mo now. It's fucked our whole rank up despite our best efforts to set proper 301 redirects and 404s in the right places. Google just caches stuff for an exceptionally long time.

Just saying...you're probably doing it right. It just sometimes takes a lot of time before Google indexes things correctly.

I was doing it via php 301 header redirect. Its not the same link structure/titles.
But is the same keyword with updated content.

$url_sufix = $array_lang2[$url_lang1]."/".$array_lang2[$url_lang2]."/".$word;
header("Location: https://www.newsite.se/".$url_sufix, true, 301);

Now I turned on cloudflare 301 redirect. All pages to homepage.
I am so tired I dont get it why I get drop rankings.

I understand your frustration, but after more than a year with doubled sites in search.. something its not working well.

Problem is I still can find old site in search results with particular keywords and content from new site..

I have the same issue with Google not deindexing spammy pages even after we removed them six months ago.

Did it have an impact on site traffic?

Have you used the Google webmaster tools to let them know that you changed the domain?

I didn't use it. I have a different structure after the redirect, didn't know I can use it in that case also.
But I see that I didn't use all best practices..

• Best Practices:
  • Don't chain site moves. ✓
  • Avoid combining multiple moves to a single location. ✓
  • When moving a site, keeping the same site architecture in the new location is beneficial. ✓

The site performed well for at least one year without any problems. That's why I am so confused.
The old site had stable traffic for a couple of years.

You need to use it, Google needs these things to understand
