Not Using Canonical
What This Means
URLs not using the canonical URL on the page in its own hreflang annotation. Hreflang should only include canonical versions of URLs.
What Triggers This Issue
This issue arises when hreflang annotations on a page do not reference the page’s own canonical URL. For example:
https://www.getasky.com/technical-seo/ Has the hreflang annotation:
<link rel="alternate" hreflang="en-GB" href="https://www.getasky.com/technical-seo/" /> But has the following canonical link element:
<link rel="canonical" href="https://www.getasky.com/technical-seo-consultancy/" />How To Fix
Update hreflang annotations to include canonical versions of URLs only. They should not include links which are canonicalised to other URLs.
