A canonical URL that redirects sends mixed signals to search engines.

Why this matters

A canonical URL that itself redirects sends mixed signals to Google — link equity may not consolidate as intended.

When the canonical link points to a URL that 301-redirects elsewhere, Google has to choose: follow the canonical chain or treat the redirect as authoritative. Behavior is inconsistent. Set canonical to the FINAL destination URL (post-redirect) so the signal is unambiguous.

"U.S. Government Publishing Office"

33 characters Optimal ✓
Title: U.S. Government Publishing Office
H1: Congressionally Mandated Reports
Match: Very different
Robots: Indexable (no restrictions)

Alignment helps users confirm they've reached the right page.

Why this matters

Title and H1 disagree significantly — Google may treat one as the canonical topic and the other as off-topic, weakening ranking.

Learn more ▾

Title is the SERP headline; H1 is the on-page headline. They should describe the same page. Large divergence (different topics, different keywords) signals confusion and Google may rewrite the title in SERP. Align both to the same primary topic.
