SEO Changes in Wordpress

Hello guys

So I am looking at SEO on my Wordpress Ecommerce site. One of the many videos I have watched over the past few days suggested reducing the length of my permalinks to show better in Google search so for example

peanut-butter-plain-crunchy-265g

to

natural-peanut-butter

I can edit this right in Wordpress and after looking at Screaming frog it shows the old URL and 301 'moved permenently' with the redirected URL

I entered the old URL into my address bar and it does re direct.. so all good I think

But do I need to worry about how Google looks at this at all or do I need to do anything else?

Thanks

  • This is fine Wholesale. In the future new pages wont have the 301, its just the old pages that will.

    • Thanks

      So I can go ahead with some keyword research and change titles and slugs with no issues?
