Non-Indexable Pages with Canonical Links In
Non-indexable URLs which are referenced as the canonical of another page which was found in the crawl
Priority: Low
Impact: Negative
What issues it may cause
Pages which canonicalise to a non-indexable page will not be indexed by search engines and any authority signals from backlinks may be lost.
If this issue affects pages that were already indexed it may cause them to be removed from search engine's results pages.
How do you fix it
There are two ways in which you can fix this issue:
- if these pages are the real canonical pages that you want to be indexed simply make them indexable
- if you don't want these pages to be indexed you may consider removing the canonical links pointing to them
What is the positive impact
Pages with potential search value can be indexed and potentially generate additional search traffic and conversions.

query GetReportForCrawl($crawlId: ObjectID!, $reportTemplateCode: String!) {
getCrawl(id: $crawlId) {
reportsByCode(
input: {
reportTypeCodes: Basic
reportTemplateCodes: [$reportTemplateCode]
}
) {
