      Hello!

      New to Moz and loving it! 🙂

      My page https://www.venturesurplus.com/ has a nice optimization score, but the optimization score says it doesn't have a canonical link tag. However, I found this in the source:

      Yesterday, there were two, so I cut one out of my themeX.liquid file (I use shopify). I don't do much coding, so I am not sure if I screwed something up by doing that.

      Should I disregard the MOZ flag? It is a blue exclamation mark in a circle, not a red flag.

        Hi Rosstrot,

        Im checking your site with the MozToolBar and your canonical is being found. I'm attaching a screenshot about that.
        It might be just a minor error in Moz crawler or just it took some time the report to be updated.

        As long as you find the canonical tag in the correct part of the HTML (in the ) and has no error nor its duplicate. You're good to go.

        Hope it helps.
        Best luck.

          Hey there!

          Sorry for the trouble. Our MozBar does detect this canonical, so it is odd that the Site Crawl wouldn't. I might recommend reaching out to us at help@moz.com with your campaign details. We can check on your site crawl and see what might be going on!
