We are using the RankMath plugin for SEO optimization, but during a Google Page Speed check, a human canonical issue was identified. According to your tool, we are using the default URL, so we are unsure why this issue is occurring.
For your reference, we are sharing screenshots. Please review them and help us resolve this issue.

Hello,
We apologize for the issue you are facing with the canonical URL during your Google Page Speed check. It seems that there might be a discrepancy between the canonical URL set in your Rank Math plugin and what Google is recognizing.
Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot this issue:
-
Check the Canonical URL: Ensure that the canonical URL you have set in Rank Math is correct and points to the intended version of your page. You can do this by navigating to the Advanced tab in the Rank Math meta box for the specific post or page.
-
Update or Change the Canonical URL: If you find that the canonical URL is incorrect, update it to point to the correct version of your content. Make sure to save or publish the changes.
-
Check for 301 Redirects: If there are any duplicate pages, ensure that you have implemented 301 redirects from those pages to the preferred canonical URL.
-
Clear Cache: If you are using any caching plugins, clear your cache after making changes to ensure that the latest version of your page is served.
-
Recheck in Google Search Console: After making these adjustments, recheck your site in Google Search Console to see if the issue persists.
If you continue to experience issues, please reply to this ticket with more details or any specific error messages you are encountering, and a human agent from our support team will assist you further.
Thank you for raising this concern!

How to Fix ‘Duplicate Without User-Selected Canonical’ Status in Google Search Console » Rank MathHello,
Thank you for contacting us and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.
We checked your homepage and we can confirm the incorrect canonical URL is added there.
We checked your other pages and found the same issues. In this case, please follow this guideline to check if any other plugins/themes are conflicting with Rank Math: https://rankmath.com/kb/check-plugin-conflicts/
You can also check the WordPress URL and Site URL in WordPress Dashboard > Settings > General and make sure the correct URL is added there.
In case all the settings are correct, then we might need to take a closer look at the settings. Please edit the first post on this ticket and include your WordPress & FTP logins in the designated Sensitive Data section.
Please do take a complete backup of your website before sharing the information with us.
It is completely secure and only our support staff has access to that section. If you want, you can use the below plugin to generate a temporary login URL to your website and share that with us instead:
