i have just bought an expired domain that has some really good links pointing to mostly internal pages,
every single one of the links are pointing to "http" pages , as oppossed to "https" pages.

as everyone has "https" urls these days, if i have a "https" website, with "https" uls, will the link juice be transferred to my website pages (after i have rebuilt the pages)

or would it be better to have a "http" website with "http" urls ? or would that be detrimental to the site ?


also does anyone know the best way to catch the link juice from 404 pages that cant be rebuilt , mostly because of the url structure.

The problem: the links are pointing to ''http'' websites instead of ''https''

I don't see it as a problem, it should work fine

Redirect the pages/URLs to the homepage.

Regarding your https/http issue, you shouldn't bother much. If the site is on https at the moment, all http links would redirect to the https and so would the link juice(if any).
 
Take a look at fabricjs! lol they still run their website for using this canvas HTML 5 library from HTTP: only. I don't know why I never had warnings in chrome, but I guess HTTP gets some super google scanning, cause it isn't encrypted.

I think irrespective the method you use, Google would eventually pick it up and take note.

They both work. That's what I was trying to say. Anyway, go with cpanel option.

Place this in your .htaccess file.

# Redirect to HTTPS rule
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

do i include the top line of the code, or is that the title of the code ? (the "# Redirect to HTTPS rule")

I reckon Google probably have that figured out. I don't think I know of any example of a website that serves different pages on https compared to their http variant.

You should be fine.

pages can be corrupted in http and sometimes in https. for this you need to get the installations and software right
