      I am not getting docked for these specific errors, but I am getting docked for 1 page has a WWW resolve issue and 1 wrong URL in the sitemap... (SEM Rush) but when I use moz, it's not showing any issues.

      So I have these things set up so far:

      • In .htaccess i have a command that removes the www.
      • 301 redirect from www version to the non www (homepage)
      • canonical on index.html pointing to non www version, I also set up a canonical tag for each page on the site
      • search console with non www, www, https www, https non www all set to non www preference.

      Also, when I fetch the www version in google search console it says it's being 301 redirected to non www version which is basically what I want.Is there anything that i'm missing? These errors on SEM Rush are giving me anxiety lol.

              That is the jyst of it, I removed some of the 301's when I pasted it here, just because it was long.

                Hey there! Tawny from Moz's Help Team here.

                Unfortunately, I don't know that I'm actually equipped to answer your question. I can speak to how Moz's tools determine duplicate content, but I don't know how you'd go about implementing solutions for errors you're seeing with SEMrush. Sorry about that!

                Hopefully one of our wonderful community members will have more insight than I do. Sorry I couldn't be more help!

                If you do have questions about Moz's tools, feel free to give us a shout at help@moz.com and we'll see what we can do. 🙂
