Duplicate Page Titles and %3E, how can I avoid this?

[mxmo]

In my crawl report I keep seeing duplicate page title warning with URL's being referenced twice:

e.g.

/company/ceo-message/

/company/ceo-message/%3E

I'm using canonical link tags but after the new crawl report, I'm still seeing this duplicate page title crawl error. How can I avoid this? I've been looking for answers for a few days but don't seem to see this exact problem discussed.

Any insight is appreciated!

Canonical tags won't fix issues with incorrect a hrefs. I'd recommend using a tool such as Screaming Frog to crawl your site and find the source of the links with the extra > at the end, then correcting them manually.

The crawl test might find these (I'm not sure!) but Screaming Frog definitely will. It's my go to tool to find pages that are linked incorrectly.

Thanks! That did the trick and it's another nifty little tool to add to my arsenal.

Glad I could help!
