Should all pages have a canonical tag (even when it just defaults to permalink, as per with Yoast when you leave the canonical tag field empty in the SEO settings in WP), or can you just remove the tag completely?

Hi guys

Looking for a quick bit of advice of on this, as I can't find anything that specifically answers this question.

I had a problem with a website where every page had two different canonical tags, as both the Yoast plugin and the WP page theme were creating canonical tags by default.

I couldn't find a fix within WP settings, so passed it to my developer to fix. His solution was to remove all canonical tags from all pages, but I'm questioning if this is a suitable solution, should pages still have canonical tags, even if they just default to permalink, as per what Yoast does?

At the momment, the site doesn't have any actual canonical links setup, and if these are required in the future, then as things stand this is something I will need the developer to provide a solution to.

Thanks!

HTTP-HTTPS redirects: domain level or each URL?

Googling for answers seems to give conflicting answers here. We have a domain that has been HTTP but some individual URLs have been HTTPS (like form pages). We are about to deploy HTTPS redirect on the server to get everything going to https://www.domain.com . Do we have to go to the effort of a big 301 redirect list of all page-level URLs without Google dropping our earned page rank?

One website, two properties (domains)

I wasn't sure how to frame that title so let me explain; Due to error on my part, I have ended up with, a www.xyz.com , version of my website, and one that's just xyz.com. Now I'm tracking my traffic differently on GSC and GA. I'm not sure how to feel about this. Is there anyone with a similar situation? Should I just go on like usual or are there things I need to start doing differently? Kindly advise. submitted by /u/Blessed_Dude_101010 [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/87Z2MRA
