Domain.com isn't recognized by on-page-grader, but domain.com/index.php is

[werkbot]

I am running a website through On-page-grader, as www.domain.com and scores an "F" for a specific keyword. When it's ran as www.domain.com/index.php, it scores an "A" for that same keyword and has everything checked other than "keyword in the domain name".

There are no other files such as index.htm, or index.html that would interfere and can't figure out why this page is not being recognized.

I checked, the robots and .htaccess file, but do not see anything that would hinder. Could this be a server issue?

Hi, domain.com & domain.com/index.php are regarded as separate pages so I would assume from your question that you want the index.php to be your root page? This can be achieved via Directory Index using .htaccess

You should see something like this in the htaccess file: DirectoryIndex index.php index.html

Thank you,

I posted this to the .htaccess file and it now works.

DirectoryIndex index.php
