    Hello,

    I just had a question concerning my RankMath score. I was wondering how my RankMath score and my overall SEO would be affected if a transferred a new domain to my website. The domain has been registered and live on a hosting service for a long time. Will transferring it to a new host affect my SEO ranking, and should I still hold onto that domain because how long it has been used can positively affect my SEO ranking and hence my RankMath Score?

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math today.

    I’m not quite sure whether I fully understand the question with regards to the scoring. But I’ll do my best and please let me know if I misunderstood.

    Do note that Rank Math’s SEO scoring depends only on on-page so changing the domain won’t affect that.

    As for generally changing your domain, the process of changing domains while trying to maintain Ranking is not as easy as said. The first thing you should make sure that the domain you are moving to is accessible and indexable. If you still have access to the Ranking domain after moving, you can set up 301 redirects to the shorter domain to ensure you pass the Ranking juice through to your new domain.

    Here are is an article you can check and a Google support answer on a similar topic. I believe these will explain it better than we could in our reply
