Duplicates - How to know if trailing slashes are creating duplicate pages?

[CamperConnect14]

Hi,

How do you determine whether trailing slashes are creating duplicate pages? Search Console is showing both /about and about/ for example but how do I know whether this is a problem?

Thanks

James

If you can browse to both without either of them redirecting then you've got duplicate pages. You can tell if they're redirecting because the address will change.

This is a handy resource from Google on exactly this topic

This isn't a huge deal but at the same time, it's not a difficult one to fix so you might as well.
