Outside <head>

What This Means

Pages with a canonical link element that is outside of the <head> element in the HTML. The canonical link element should be within the <head> element, or search engines will ignore it.

What Triggers This Issue

This issue is triggered when a page has a canonical link element placed outside of the <head> element in the HTML. Example:

<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> ... </head> <link rel="canonical" href="https://www.getasky.com/"> <body> ... </body> </html>

How To Fix

Ensure canonical link elements are in the <head> element of a page’s HTML to be considered by search engines.
