    Default duplicate content on site

    I did a site test on nibbler and got this message. I do not see two seperate sites. I only have one site and uses HTTP's. Any idea what is happening?


    • There is duplicate content on http://www.clearsoundhearing.ca and http://clearsoundhearing.ca. This is bad, as technically they are classed as two different websites. Search engines may lower a website's rank if they find the same content on two different URLs. Close recommendations
      • Choose one domain that you would like to use and then set a permanent (HTTP 301) redirect to forward users who visit the other.

    I made a .htaccess file and added the following, hope it is ok, cause I am not a coder

    ErrorDocument 404 /404-error.htm


    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?clearsoundhearing\.ca
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.clearsoundhearing.ca/$1 [R,L]

    That looks like you have got it spot on. The .htaccess code directs any traffic aimed at the http:// site to the https:// site.

    I just tried to go to the http:// one, and I was seamlessly sent to the https://

    It also helps if you insert this in the head section of your site:

    <link rel=“canonical” href=“https://clearsoundhearing.ca” />

    For references, since Aug 2021 and Plus version 21.5:
    A <link rel=canonical> is now automatically applied to the <head> of your web page when you publish to Xara Hosting / MAGIX Online World. If you are publishing to Other Web Host, enter the URL you want set as canonical in the Website URL field.
    So Plus users need not apply.
