I have 3 pages duplicated just by a /

Example:

What would cause this?? And how would I fix it?

Thanks!

Hi Renalynd

So there must be a global directive in the htaccess file to move anything specified as // to /

To be honest, I have never seen to trailing slashes at the end of a URL and there are none indexed from your site so you have nothing to worry about:

Thank you Nigel, Im wondering how they even got created. I don't want any more happening.

Cool,

Please can you mark it as a good answer if it solved your query?

Thanks

If there are only a few of them, it's likely they were created by someone accidentally typo-ing a URL when writing a link.

Renalynd

Do you mean when writing a link in a search or when creating a url?

ThompsonPaul

Most likely when someone wrote an internal link within the website. E.g. Linking to another page from within a page or blog post.
