Why www redirects matters for a veterinary clinic
14 Feb 2025
How a veterinary clinic deals with www redirects — and what usually goes wrong.
The problem: a robots.txt that disallows the blog. This is where www redirects breaks for a veterinary clinic.
After the move, a robots.txt that disallows the blog broke search indexing for a veterinary clinic. Google kept serving the old pages for another nineteen days.
The registrar dashboard crashed twice while we were fixing www redirects for a veterinary clinic. We filed a ticket; they replied four days later with a template answer.
A friend of the owner at a veterinary clinic had set up www redirects years ago. When we audited, the config still pointed at a server they stopped paying for in 2024.
Test www redirects from outside your network before you call it done. Your office Wi-Fi might cache the old answer for another six hours.
a veterinary clinic did not want to hear about www redirects. They wanted to know: will the site work tomorrow morning. The answer was yes, but only if we fix a robots.txt that disallows the blog today.
We keep a playbook for www redirects. Step one is always the same: pull the live record with dig, compare it to what the admin panel shows, and fix the mismatch.
