Sitemap Duplicate URLs

search What we check

Whether the same canonical URL is listed more than once in the sitemap, which wastes crawl budget and sends mixed changefreq/priority signals.

build How to fix

1. 1 List each canonical URL exactly once in the sitemap.
2. 2 Remove an accidental bare root entry when you already emit explicit per-locale roots.
3. 3 Treat trailing-slash and case variants of the same path as one entry.
