Why it matters
This URL asks search engines to index a different URL instead of itself.
How to fix it
Confirm this is intentional, and link internally to the canonical URL rather than this one.
How it affects your score
Info notices never lower any score. They are listed so you can confirm the behaviour is intended. A note for review. It never lowers the score.
Find the affected URLs
Open Crawl > Issues and pick Canonical points to another URL. Each affected URL is listed with its evidence, and Copy URLs or Export URLs hands the list to a developer. The issue also appears in the Action Plan, ranked by impact (low) and effort (low), and in the issues CSV under the code canonicalised. After fixing, run a new audit and use Compare to confirm the URLs moved to fixed.
