Canonical URL redirects
A canonical URL that redirects sends mixed signals to search engines.
Warning::
Canonical www-ness doesn't match the final URL
Either the canonical has 'www.' and the final URL doesn't, or vice versa. Search engines may index both forms as duplicates. Pick one and use it consistently in the canonical AND the redirect target.

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.

Learn more

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.

Either the canonical has 'www.' and the final URL doesn't, or vice versa. Search engines may index both forms as duplicates. Pick one and use it consistently in the canonical AND the redirect target.

Why this matters

Canonical has 'www.' and final URL doesn't (or vice versa). Search engines may index both forms as duplicates.

Learn more

Pick one form -- with or without www -- and use it consistently in the canonical AND the redirect target. Both forms can resolve, but unless one redirects to the other AND the canonical agrees, search engines may treat them as duplicate-content variants.

Title: 24 chars
Info::

Warning::
No meta description tag found
Without a meta description, Google auto-generates a snippet from page content -- usually less click-attractive than a hand-written summary. Add `<meta name="description" content="...">` with a 70-160 char summary.

Very low ratio suggests heavy framework overhead or boilerplate.

Why this matters

Informational: ratio of visible text bytes to total HTML bytes. Very low ratios suggest excessive markup overhead.
