Re: SEO optimisations of blog article list

textpattern 4.7.0 can do this:

<link rel="canonical" href="<txp:site_url /><txp:page_url type="request_uri" />"> 

or

<link rel="canonical" href="<txp:link_to_home /><txp:page_url type="request_uri" />">

But there is a problem – double slash:

<link rel="canonical" href="https://www.example.com//blog/">
<link rel="canonical" href="https://www.example.com//blog/?pg=2">
<link rel="canonical" href="https://www.example.com//blog/?pg=3">

….mple.com // blog….

It can be fixed?

Does your site URL have a trailing slash? If so, remove it – and the problem is fixed.

Re: SEO optimisations of blog article list

No, my site URL not have a trailing slash.

The <txp:site_url /> tag returns slash at the trailing of the URL

https://www.example.com/

The <txp:page_url /> tag returns slash at the beginning of the URL and at the trailing of the URL

/section/

tag <txp:site_url /> + tag <txp:site_url /> get two slashes

https://www.example.com//section/

I do not know how to remove an extra slash

There is no slash:

There is a slash here:

Re: SEO optimisations of blog article list

Another approach that I sometimes use is to set the public_domain without the trailing slash in a variable (e.g. using adi_variables or oui_prefs). That can be useful when working on a test or staging domain that’s not the final public domain, for example:

• Set the canonical url to always use the desired public_domain rather than your test or staging domain.

<link rel="canonical" href="http://<txp:variable name="public_domain" /><txp:page_url />" >

• Use it in conjunction with ied_if_domain to send meta noindex tags or to prevent google analytics from loading when not on the public domain.
