I built a website basically as an one-pager. meaning there is only the index.html and no other php or html file. Now google says there are canonical issues and i have no idea why and how to solve it. Because as said there are no other pages. Please, can anyone help? Can provide a screenshot by google console when needed.
Thank you
Stefan
A link to the website would also help.
Itās likely to do with the URL you have in the project settings. Remove the /index.html at the end.
Okay, thank you. Appreciate it. I changed it and look forward, what google console consider about it.
Thanks again.
Iāve had canonical issues lately with Google as well, though only on a few mini sites. I didnāt include the index.html in the page settings and Iāve gone through it all, however Iām struggling to find anything wrong. I also use htaccess, so it drives everything to the same https:// pages as used in the site settings.
Has to be all there improvements by adding AI to everything. Another half baked āfeatureā.
Like I mentioned to you the other day, I was trying to setup a Google Business profile for a client and it kept rejecting every image I uploaded. 2 days later is just worked 
In my case it said the canonical was pointing to an entirely different website.
So, here we go again. Got still the problems with google console. Itās all the same as before. Ok, good. Now i removed the ācanonical tagā completely from the code. Iām excited to see what happens now. Good morning everyone.
Try that and please let us know. It would also be curious if this still happens if you were to do it manually, adding the data to the page header. There is a Google breakdown here and Iāve seen that Google is formatting this slightly differently to Blocs.
You can also run checks through various sites if you Google canonical checker. Itās quite possible Google search console is just broken on this point and it wouldnāt be the first occasion Iāve lost a lot of time on incorrectly flagged issues.
I checked your site just now using an app called Scrutiny and it showed three pages with no errors.
Well, thanks for reply and checking my site. Really appreciate it. Yes, iāll let you guys know how it went. Thanks again.
So, new things going on here. Google console now says:
https://vintage-vagabonds-berlin.de/ (works fine)
but
sameadress/index.html (Duplicate ā not set as canonical by the user)
This could be the reason for the whole mess. Ok, i got it. So what do i need to do now? Looks like the process by google is still working so it says āvalidation startedā.
Thank you
Itās wait and see time. One thing you should do though is to set up a 301 redirect that sends everything to https://. For example, if I simply type in www.yourwebsite.de I get an error message in the browser saying the page is not secure and it refuses to load. All of that should be automatically going to your preferred canonical url.
Ok. I just found the ā301 redirection thingā in the customer control panel and changed it.
Now, http:// and www. will be redirected to the correct domain.
Need a coffee now and will wait a few days and see. Thanks for your help. Appreciated. Itās obvious not a blocs issue. Iām just less experienced in those hosting topics. Thanks again.
