I have an understanding of the basics of web design, SEO, etc. I have existing website on Shopify but had another website on WordPress . The WordPress website was hacked and was down for a while but I hired someone and got it all cleaned up. Everything seems to be fine now but my rankings have dropped significantly. I thought moving it to Shopify would be cleaner and remove any historical bad karma.
Would this be a good decision? Also is there a clear explanation of re-directs? Are they needed?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
