Trailing Slash and Non-Trailing Slash Inconsistency

[nerdieb]

Hi,

Majority of the URLs on the site I'm working on are using non-trailing slash,

https://example.com/page1
https://example.com/page2
https://example.com/page3

But when it comes to the blog pages, they are using trailing slash:

https://example.com/blog/specific-blog-post1/
https://example.com/blog/specific-blog-post2/
https://example.com/blog/specific-blog-pos3t/

Note that there is no duplication here since they have canonical tags.

My only concern is that:
Is it okay to have this kind of structure where the blog page have trailing slash while the rest are using non-trailing slash?

Keen to hear from you guys.

Cheers!

Hi! To answer your question—that's totally fine, as long as the canonical tags are pointing to non-trailing on product URLs and trailing on blog URLs, this shouldn't be a big deal.

There are other things to consider like internal linking (and making sure that's consistent across the site) and possibly choosing one version (like trailing slash) and force redirecting the rest (to ensure things are clean when it comes to URLs).

But as far as the direct question goes, as long as your canonicals are set accurately for those sections it shouldn't be a problem.

Hope that helps!
