New websites issues- Duplicate urls and many title tags. Is it fine for SEO?

[Davit1985]

Hey everyone,

I have found few code issues with our new website and wanted to see how bad those problems are and if I have missed anything. If someone can take a look at this and help me it would mean the world. Thank you. all!

We hired an agency to design a new site for us and it's almost ready, but the other day I found some problems that made me wonder if this new site might not be as good as I thought and I wanted to ask you to take a look at the code and possibly help me understand if from SEO prospective it is sound.  But I really want someone who understands SEO and web design to look at our code and point out what might be wrong there.

Here is  a link to the actual site which is on a new server: http://209.50.54.42/

What I found few days ago that made me wonder something might not be right.

Problem 1. Each page has 3 title tags, I guess whatever template  they are using it automatically creates 3 title tags. When you do " View Page Source"

For example on this url: http://209.50.54.42/washington-dc-transportation when you view the code, the lines  Lines 16,19 and 20 have the title tag which in my opinion is wrong and there should only be one. Could this hurt our SEO?

Problem 2.  Infinite duplicate urls found

All following pages have INFINITE NUMBER OF DUPLICATE URLS. EXAMPLE: http://209.50.54.42/privacy-policy/8, http://209.50.54.42/privacy-policy/1048, http://209.50.54.42/privacy-policy/7, http://209.50.54.42/privacy-policy/1, http://209.50.54.42/privacy-policy you can add any type of number to this url and it will show the same page.  I really think this 2nd problem is huge as it will create duplicate content. There should be only 1 url  per page, and if I add any number to the end should give a 404 error. I have managed to find these 2 issues but I am not sure what else could be wrong with the code. Would you be able to look into this? And possible tell us what else is incorrect? I really like the design and we worked really hard on this for almost 5 moths but I want to make sure that when we launch the new site it does not tank our rankings and only helps us in a positive way.

Thanks in advance,

Davit

For the first issue, you don't have multiple Page Titles. Only the text inside of is your Page Title. On the other lines you have an OG title (which is for OpenGraph / social and messenger sharing). You also have a Meta title, which is just another form of title. It should be fine to have these three essentially the same, though you'd probably want the ability to customise each of them if desired (sometimes the same link text that compels people to click on Google, isn't so effective on FaceBook or WhatsApp, so at the least you'd want to be able to specify a custom OG title vs your regular <title>tag)</p> <p>The second issue could be a real problem, especially if there are internal links which point to paginated URLs which don't exist, which also don't 404. If you can only create these infinite pagination URLs via manual browsing, it shouldn't be too big of a deal. If the internal link structure 'creates' them, that's another kettle of fish (and I'd take immediate action)</p></title>
