Wrong canonicals

Hi there,

Thanks for the report.

Ecwid should put valid canonicals and redirect old links to the new ones when the URL is changed. So, what you described sounds like a bug. Can you provide an example of a URL where the canonical tag is incorrectly generated so we can replicate it ourselves and investigate?

For example:

Old url: https://www.mivestuariolaboral.com/GAFAS-SEGURIDAD-PARA-CASCOS-FUEGO-p44773278
New url: https://www.mivestuariolaboral.com/GAFAS-INCOLORAS-PARA-CASCOS-DE-OBRA-p44773278

And there are many more with the same problem

Thanks. So, I inspected those pages. As far as I can see the URL #1 redirects to the new URL and the canonical tag of the page is as follows:
<link rel="canonical" href="https://www.mivestuariolaboral.com/GAFAS-INCOLORAS-PARA-CASCOS-DE-OBRA-p44773278" />

That seems correct. Do you see the same behavior? Can you describe what behavior you expect and why?

When i go to: site:mivestuariolaboral.com inurl:gafas at page 4 i see:
GAFAS SEGURIDAD PARA CASCOS DE OBRA – Vestuario Laboral

https://www.mivestuariolaboral.com/seguridad…/Gafas-de…/amp#…/GAFAS…
GAFAS SEGURIDAD PARA CASCOS DE OBRA. INCOLORAS POLICARBONATO ADAPTABLES. AV. AR. UV400. Forma muy envolvente para una máxima …

And if i click that link the page is: https://www.mivestuariolaboral.com/GAFAS-SEGURIDAD-PARA-CASCOS-FUEGO-p44773278. Then if i manually refresh the page, it redirect to: https://www.mivestuariolaboral.com/GAFAS-INCOLORAS-PARA-CASCOS-DE-OBRA-p44773278

Another example:

wrong url with canonical pointing to same url https://www.mivestuariolaboral.com/-p93871085

correct url: https://www.mivestuariolaboral.com/TAPONES-PARA-OIDO-CON-ARNES-BOLSA-DE-1-PAR-p93871085

This is another example, in this case a main category of the store.

This url is not correct: https://www.mivestuariolaboral.com/Vestuario+Laboral+Desechable-c11650009

but this: https://www.mivestuariolaboral.com/Vestuario-Laboral-Desechable-c11650009

However, the 2 urls have a different canonical, so Google will consider it duplicate content.
In fact, Google’s position rankings have fallen dramatically

I would appreciate any indication. I am manually removing a lot of wrong urls from the google console that have been indexed and are duplicate pages.

Sorry for the delay.

Thanks for the examples. I will comment below:

I managed to replicate that. It seems like some links lead to the old pages on your site (e.g. https://www.mivestuariolaboral.com/gafas-de-seguridad/gafas-de-seguridad). Those pages redirect to the home page, but the Ecwid part of the URL doesn’t change for some reason. We will look into it.

The good news is that all of those pages have valid canonical URLs, as far as I can see, so Google will eventually re-index them with valid URLs.

wrong url with canonical pointing to same url https://www.mivestuariolaboral.com/-p93871085

This page has a valid canonical URL: https://www.mivestuariolaboral.com/TAPONES-PARA-OIDO-CON-ARNES-BOLSA-DE-1-PAR-p93871085 . So, as far as I can see, it works properly. Let me know if I miss anything here.

I checked those pages and it seems like they have the same canonical URL: https://www.mivestuariolaboral.com/Vestuario-Laboral-Desechable-c11650009 . So, again, this should help Google to index the right versions of the URLs.

Thanks,
