Good morning Everbody,

I am working on tidying up my website for seo. My home page is https://countryandcoast.co.uk

But when i am on my website using the menu bar I click back to the home page with the above url. I takes me to https://countryandcoast.co.uk/index.html

I dont want duplicate pages and have build the site around https://countryandcoast.co.uk

I have gone into page page properties - File name and removed Index but it comes back!!!!

Please advise, Thanks for your help,

Andrew

You should not delete index.html.

This page is in fact the page that is shown initially - even if the page name is not shown in the browsers URL.

If only a domain is specified in the URL then the browser automatic looks if there is an index.html and then this is shown. This is why you can have a "nice" URL shown on papers and so.

What do you mean by ticked or unticked?

If you mean this    then it should not be changed for the home-page.

For the home page (index) it should be unticked.

If you want to change names for other pages then you could do that - but keep the name short. Generally it is not needed to change names, so generally you could let the field be unchecked/unticked for your other pages too.

A lot of things can be done by using custom code. If you really need this then do as KolAsim show. If it is not that important then I really think it is better to have a "clean" solution.

If you are familiar with custom code then it might be OK - if not - then only use custom code if you really want a special behaviour for your site.

... it's a normal google warning ...
... you need to correct the address you declared in Step 1, and which currently is this:
https://www.countryandcoast.co.uk/
... and instead it must be this:
https://countryandcoast.co.uk/
... for the duplicate page warning, please resolve as follows:
<link rel = "canonical" href = "https://countryandcoast.co.uk/index.html" />
... or like this:
<link rel = "canonical" href = "https://countryandcoast.co.uk/" />

... try one or the other..
