So I noticed that i have posts indexed in http and https.

I believe this bad for SEO but I'm not sure what to do to get rid of the post that are "http"

It's basically duplicate content..

I do have 301 redirect set from http to https, will this be enough or is there a way to get rid of all posts with http and keep the https versions

I do notice that some of my post are indexed with "http"...

I do have the 301 direct set up but when I click on the post It says "not secure"

Any advice

Resubmit sitemap or get bots to re-crawl your site in other ways. Usually this gets fixed as soon as they recognize the live version.

I'm not sure what that will do.

My redirect is working because when I go the http version, it takes me to the https version .

But certain posts which are indexed with http , gives me the "not secure"

The main issue is, I don't want google to index the http posts...

Can I just submit the http version of the post to "removals" so that the https version is live

If you created 2 pages of each post (http and https) just use plugin to delete them in bulk.But if you want to delete urls (http ones) then use Removal in GSC

let me know if I misunderstood

Click to expand...

I was thinking of doing that by just removing the http ones with removal option but I read somewhere it also removes the https one if it's also showing on google
