Social & rich results
og:url matches canonical
Why it matters
Social networks use og:url to group shares and likes. If it differs from the canonical URL, shares may be split between two addresses or credited to the wrong page.
How to fix it
- Set og:url to exactly the same URL as the canonical tag.
- Most SEO plugins can do this automatically.
Check it with
- Open Graph & Social Preview Checker – Preview how a link looks when shared on Facebook, LinkedIn, X, WhatsApp and Slack.
- Canonical Tag Checker – Check a page’s canonical URL, whether it resolves, and if it conflicts with other signals.
Scoring: a passed check earns its full weight, a warning half and an error none. How the SEO score works
