Multiple

What This Means

Pages with multiple canonicals set for a URL (either multiple link elements, HTTP header, or both combined). This can lead to unpredictability, as there should only be a single canonical URL set by a single implementation (link element, or HTTP header) for a page and might lead to mix ups.

What Triggers This Issue

This issue is triggered when pages have multiple canonical tags set for a URL, which can occur through multiple link elements, HTTP headers, or a combination of both. For example:

https://www.getasky.com/ Has the canonicals:

<link rel="canonical" href="https://www.getasky.com/page1/">> <link rel="canonical" href="https://www.getasky.com/page1/">

How To Fix

Specify a single canonical URL using a single approach (link element, or HTTP header) for every page to avoid any potential mix ups.
