Viewing Meta Tags

Meta Tags



User: Joss D. 7 years ago
Hi, on EverWeb html meta data the "canonical" tag is left blank, is there a reason for this or how do you get details in the "link rel" part of it. When testing for site seo it comes up as blank no information. Any ideas appreciated.

Hi Joss,

The canonical tag is used appropriately in EverWeb when needed. For example with mobile pages and with default index pages so you avoid duplicate content.

The canonical tag has certain uses. Can you explain what you would like to do so I can help you further?

I don't fully understand what you mean here.

Thanks Paul, when I do a SEO page audit with Seo Quake it comes up as "a canonical tag has been set but it can't be reached" as I have set the preffered domain in google webmaster tools setting I was wondering what the problem is why it can't be reached. I hope this explains it a little better.

Can you tell me the exact URL that is producing this error?

The problem is on all EverWeb sites I have made and tested. EG. http;//www.innovationtraining.com.au when you look at the html code on the home page (index). after build date of my site it comes up <link rel="canonical" href="/"> so I presume there must be a directive to go to as I said above when testing code it tells me it can not be found.

Hi Joss,

When viewing that site, I do not see any website up there.

Regardless, I think you are publishing to a folder first. Is that correct?

If so, go to File->Edit Publishing Settings.

Then select FTP from the drop down menu and in the URL field, enter your website URL.

Then go back to publish to a folder and publish your site.

The canonical tag will have your full URL in there. However, even without this, the canonical, tag is still correct, It is using a relative path. Whatever tool you are using to check this, is not reporting this properly.

I hope this helps.
