Canonical to Non-200

Pages that canonicalize to URLs which do not return a 200 status code

Priority: Medium

Impact: Negative

What issues it may cause​

Google will typically ignore the canonical potentially resulting in an unwanted page in search results. If there are lots of these low value pages in search engine results pages it could devalue your site quality, impacting ranking and bounce rates.

How do you fix it​

Update canonical links to point to URLs which respond with a 200 status.

What is the positive impact​

Search engines will be able to process the canonical signal correctly, potentially reducing indexing issues.

How to fetch the data for this report template​

You will need to run a crawl for report template to generate report. When report has been generated and you have crawl id you can fetch data for the report using the following query:

query GetReportForCrawl($crawlId: ObjectID!, $reportTemplateCode: String!) {
  getCrawl(id: $crawlId) {
    reportsByCode(
      input: {
        reportTypeCodes: Basic
        reportTemplateCodes: [$reportTemplateCode]
      }
    ) {
      rows {
        nodes {
          ... on CrawlLinks {
            urlFrom
            urlFromTitle
            urlTo
            urlToTitle
            urlFromDeeprank
            urlFromStatusCode
            urlToDeeprank
            urlToStatusCode
            linkType
            internal
            attrRel
            attrType
            hreflang
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}
