Sitemap Contains Non-Canonical URLs
What This Means
The sitemap includes URLs that have a different canonical URL specified. Sitemaps should only include canonical versions of pages to avoid confusing search engines.
What Triggers This Issue
This issue is triggered when a URL in the sitemap has a <link rel='canonical'> tag pointing to a different URL than itself.
How To Fix
Update your sitemap to only include canonical URLs. Remove non-canonical versions (URLs with parameters, trailing slashes, etc.) and ensure only the preferred version of each page is listed.
