    Hello,

    This is to inform you that we are facing a Google console issue, our home page has not getting indexed since long. Homepage is showing in “Duplicate, Google chose different canonical than user” and “Page with redirect” , and also in “Redirect error”. We have also checked the RankMath redirection option with no such redirects found there. Please check and let us know the issue.

    We have not assigned our homepage to any other page. But still 2 pages are still showing. Please check the attached screenshot. We have also started the validation process but are still facing the same issue.

    I request you to please check and do the needful.

    Thankyou.

  • Hello,

    We apologize for the issue you are facing with your Google Search Console. It seems like there are multiple factors at play regarding the indexing of your homepage, particularly the errors related to duplicate content and redirects.

    Here are some steps you can take to address the issues:

    1. Check Canonical Tags: Ensure that the canonical URL specified in your homepage is correct and points to the intended version of the page. If it’s incorrect, update it accordingly.

    2. 301 Redirects: Since you mentioned that there are no redirects found in Rank Math, double-check if there are any server-level redirects or if any plugins might be causing unexpected behavior. You can also create a 301 redirect from any non-canonical URLs to your homepage if necessary. Here’s how to do that:

      • Go to Rank Math > Redirections in your WordPress admin dashboard.
      • Create a new redirection by entering the non-canonical URL as the Source URL and your homepage as the Destination URL.
        Rank Math Redirections Tab
        Create new redirection
    3. Validation Process: After making changes, ensure to request indexing again through Google Search Console. This can help Google recognize the updates you’ve made.

    4. Check for Other Issues: Review your website for any other potential issues that could be affecting indexing, such as robots.txt restrictions or meta tags that may prevent indexing.

    If you continue to experience issues after following these steps, please reply to this ticket with your site URL so that a human agent from our support team can assist you further. Thank you for raising this concern, and we’re here to help you resolve it!

    Hello,

    We deeply apologize for the unexpected delay in response. This ticket has been stuck in our drafts section for some reason.

    Please note that the Duplicate, Google Chose Different Canonical than User error means Google has found more pieces of content that are identical or very similar. For more details, you can check this URL: https://rankmath.com/kb/duplicate-google-chose-different-canonical-than-user/

    However, after checking the https://vpndealz.net/ site, we can see it is currently in staging mode. In this case, please clear your website cache including any server-level cache, and revalidate the issue on Google Search Console. Once done, give Google some time to recrawl your site.

    Regarding the redirect error for your homepage, we can see HTTP and WWW versions of your site are getting redirected to HTTPS and non-WWW.

    If the page is not causing any problems and redirects users to the correct page, then there is no need to fix it and you can ignore the error.

    For more details on this issue, you can check this URL: https://rankmath.com/kb/page-with-redirect/

    Let us know how it goes. Looking forward to helping you.

    Thank you.

    Hello,

    If you check https://vpndealz.net/ or https://www.deal2coupons.com/ site, you’ll see they both are staging sites and using the same template. Can you please confirm if you also used the same template and if your site was set to index in the staging condition?

    If so, it could be a reason why you’re facing the error as Google is counting the websites as a duplicate and that’s why we always suggest setting your website to Noindex in the staging mode.

    However, to resolve the issue, you can only revalidate this on Google Search Console so that it can recrawl and update the information.

    Hope that helps and please don’t hesitate to let us know if you have any other questions.
     
    Thank you.
