    Hi,
    Team RankMath.
    First of all, thank you for supporting me. Today I inspected my website post URL in the search console under the coverage tab I saw, that it says ” User-declared canonical ” URL. But I didn’t make a post as canonical. Please let me know how can I remove this or is it okay for SEO? My blog post is getting more time (2 to 3 days) to index now, while I have seen my blog indexing in 2 to 3 minutes.

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

    Please first review this article to learn more about what is ‘user-declared Canonical’:
    https://techcrawlr.com/what-is-google-user-declared-canonical/#What_is_Google_user-declared_canonical

    I checked the page in question and it is displaying the correct canonical URL for this page which matches with what Google considers user-declared canonical.

    Also, this page has been already indexed by Google so I think it might be safe to ignore.

    About the delayed indexing, it is normal for a page to take some time before getting indexed. This could be from a few seconds up to months sometimes. It totally depends on Googlebot’s crawl frequency and a lot of other such undisclosed factors. Please go through this article to learn more about improving your site’s indexing:

    We hope this answers your question. Please don’t hesitate to contact us again if you need further assistance.

    Thank you

    Hello,
    I want to remove the tag that appears on all pages of my website. Please help me remove this tag. I don’t have duplicate content on my website. All the content is unique.
    <link rel = “canonical” href = “URL” />
    It shows all my posts even I don’t set them canonical.

    Hello,

    Please use the filter given below in your theme’s functions.php file to remove the canonical URL from your posts:

    /**
 * Allow changing of the canonical URL.
 *
 * @param string $canonical The canonical URL.
 */
add_filter( 'rank_math/frontend/canonical', function( $canonical ) {
	return false;
});

    Please don’t hesitate to get in touch in case you need any other assistance.

    Thanks.
