Multiple Slashes

What This Means

URLs that have multiple forward slashes in the path (getasky.com/page1//). This is generally by mistake and as best practice URLs should only have a single slash between sections of a path to avoid any potential mix ups and duplicate URLs within the string. This is excluding use within the protocol (https://) where it is the standard.

What Triggers This Issue

This issue is triggered when a URL has multiple forward slashes in the path, excluding protocol slashes (https://). For example: https://www.getasky.com/froggy// 

How To Fix

Ideally only a single slash should be used for URLs. However, changing URLs is a big decision, and often it’s not worth changing them for SEO purposes alone. If URLs are changed, then appropriate 301 redirects must be implemented.
