Hi

Basically i am creating a store where the user needs to login so when they access the site at

Eg https://mydomain.com/ Or https://mydomain.com/index They should be taken to :

https://mydomain.com/auth/index If the user is logged or once successfully logged in they will be redirected to:

https://mydomain.com/store/index I know I can just use redirects but I wanted to check if there is a better way of achieving this without affecting seo .

Thanks

In this case the better solution is using ACL functionality.

I have a custom/complete/complicated solution at my own library Tartan that I can help you to setup in your project easily but there is another simple implementation at Vokuro App

by-the-way before using any component you should have a background of ACL that I suggest you to google it or read Phalcon ACL Doc

What do you mean with "without affecting seo"? As far as i know the url "/" itself has no special meaning for Google & CO. (Asuming you provide a sitemap and/or have incoming links somewhere. )

If you want static content (only for Robots) on "/", i'd use a javascript redirect on that page. But this page would not be ranked very heigh, because of the short (not existing) "length of stay" of visitors on that page.
