SEO Warning Severity: Medium

What it costs you
Search engines index one of the copies and choose which one themselves. Links and ranking signals are split over the copies.
What to do
Keep one URL. Redirect the others to it, or point their canonical tag at it when they must stay reachable.
What it checks
- Identical pages
How to fix it
Reduce the group to one indexable URL
- Pick the URL to keep. We suggest [suggested canonical] because most internal links point at it.
- Redirect the other URLs to it with a 301, or give them a canonical tag that points at it.
- Change internal links so they use the URL you kept.
How to check: Recrawl the site: the group is gone or every other page is no longer indexable.
