The Problem
Product variant URLs create duplicate content issues without proper canonical tags.
💡 Impact: Duplicate content dilutes ranking signals across multiple URLs.
How to Fix It
- 1Shopify adds canonicals by default, but verify they're correct
- 2Check that variant pages point to main product URL
- 3Ensure paginated collection pages have proper canonicals
Code Example
<!-- Shopify's default canonical (verify this exists) -->
<link rel="canonical" href="{{ canonical_url }}">
<!-- For variant pages, should point to main product -->
<link rel="canonical" href="{{ product.url }}">Not Sure If You Have This Issue?
