Hello,
We apologize for the issue you are facing with internal duplication. To address internal duplication issues, you can follow these steps:
-
Identify Duplicate Content: Use tools like Google Search Console to find pages with duplicate content. Look for errors such as "Duplicate without user-selected canonical" or "Duplicate, Google chose different canonical than user".
-
Specify Canonical Tags: For pages that have similar or identical content, add a canonical tag to the head section of the duplicate pages. This informs search engines which page to prioritize.
-
Consolidate Content: Where feasible, combine similar content into a single page to minimize duplication. This helps in improving the overall SEO of your site.
-
Implement Redirects: Use 301 redirects to guide traffic from duplicate pages to the preferred version, preserving link equity.
-
Use Rank Math’s Analytics: If you have Rank Math PRO, you can use the Index Status report in Rank Math’s Analytics to identify pages with duplication issues. Navigate to Rank Math > Analytics and check the Index Status tab for detailed insights.

Hello,
Thank you for your query and we are so sorry about the trouble this must have caused.
The issue you’re seeing is due to the same content (excerpt) being shown both on the homepage and the individual post page. To resolve this, we recommend showing a shorter, unique excerpt on the homepage or using the <!--more--> tag to limit the content shown.
See screenshot:
This will help reduce internal duplication.
Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.
If adding <!–more–> to the post this problem can be solved for 1 post. The big obstacle is how to add <!–more–> to all posts?
I found a piece of code, but it displays an error message like my screenshot is circled in red. How do I fix it? My screenshot added an update on sensitive data.
