Start by reviewing the most popular old pages in keyword search rank positions 3 to 20. With some changes, ranks 3-10 may move up page one to rank 1 or 2. Ranks 11-20 on page two of search results may move up to page 1.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For each post, review it and decide to <strong>keep it<\/strong>, <strong>update it<\/strong>, <strong>delete it<\/strong>, or <strong>replace it<\/strong> with new content. If you delete a post or page, be sure to <strong>redirect<\/strong> the old page to a new relevant page with updated\u00a0content, or to your homepage, or add a 410 (Gone) response status code that the old content has been permanently removed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If <strong>backlinks<\/strong> are pointing to an old post and you delete it, you\u2019re throwing away SEO link value. Keep posts with valuable backlinks. An old post can be demoted and renamed using -old in the URL rather than deleted. A replacement post would use the original post URL to preserve backlinks.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"background-color: #ffff00;\"><strong>Tip<\/strong><\/span>: <strong>WordPress<\/strong> will keep old edited revisions by default. Use a plugin to purge outdated versions\u00a0and save only the latest few versions, to reduce storage space and page load times.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Backup<\/strong>\u00a0your files before starting the cleanup process.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fix_Broken_Links\"><\/span>Fix Broken Links<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Use a <strong>broken link checker<\/strong> website, tool or plugin to find and fix broken links, with\u00a0status code 404 (<strong>Not Found<\/strong>).
