Canonical URL Question

    When I looked at the knowledge base, it seemed to say that RM sets the Canonical URL automatically. I do see it in the field. However, when I use the SEO Analyzer, it says no canonical URL is set.

    Do I need to type in every canonical URL in that field?

    Please advise.

    Looking back on old tickets, it looks like I have to type each one in.

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math and bringing your concern to our attention. I’m sorry for any inconvenience this issue may have caused you.

    It seems that you have already marked this ticket as already resolved.

    However, Rank Math automatically adds a self-referencing canonical URL to your posts/pages if they are set to index.

    Let us know if the issue still persists.

    Looking forward to helping you.

    Thank you.

    Based on your reply, I have another question.

    Right now my site is on a temporary URL before going live. I have it set to no index in the wp settings.

    If I’m understanding you correctly, that would keep RM from setting the canonical URL.

    When the site is ready to go live, I will remove the “no index” from wp. At that point, will the automatic canonical URL work?

    Please advise – and thank you!

    Hello,

    As long as your page is set to index then the self-referencing canonical URL will be automatically generated by the Rank Math. You can also check the page source to confirm if the canonical link is correct or not.

    A self-refrencing URL will look something like this:

    <link rel="canonical" href="https://domain.com/page-name" />

    We hope that answers your question. Please feel free to contact us again if you need further assistance. Thank you.
