Canonical rel

[theseolab]

I am having a few issues understanding the whole report card and canonical issue.

I have a wordpress blog www.theseolab.com.au. When i created the blog i had setup http://theseolab.com.au and i thought that was my mistake. When i ran the on page report for www.theseolab.com.au . It said that my canonical was http://theseolab.com. So i changed it and my canonical points to http://www.theseolab.com.au.

5 days later i run the on page again and it still says that there are issues and it still shows that my website canonical is not pointing to the right link.

Does it take time to update or am i missing something?

Have checked, your canonical page is marked correctly, You should install Moz Toolbar Extension for Chrome & Firefox so as to check details by your side only for future reference

This is the details

Page Attributes	Data
Meta Robots	Not Found
Rel="canonical"	http://www.theseolab.com.au/
Page Load Time	6.51s
Google Cache URL	http://google.com/search?q=cache:http://www.theseolab.com.au/
IP Address	180.235.128.118
Country	Australia

I found this code rel="canonical" href="http://www.theseolab.com.au/" /> in your source which indicates that rel canonical is setup-ed correctly!

I am not sure what tool you are using to check but if you are using Moz and it is displaying something like this, it is not normal... you either should wait till the next crawl or email to their support for that!

hope this helps!

Yes, i thought so too. I am using the on page report card

I'll wait for the next crawl and see what it says

Hi Olivier,

Just to add to what the guys have said, with a www. and non-www. version of the website, you should really 301 redirect one to the other (I'd always choose to redirect to the www version but you can choose).

Hi Olivier,

Thanks for the question!

I reviewed your site (www.theseolab.com.au) and your canonical does look like it's set up correctly. To test out the On-Page tool, I ran a quick query and it showed the same result:

The only thing I can think of is that you saw a cached version of the On-Page report, but those are usually cleared within 48 hours so that shouldn't be the case here. If you see this again, I'd recommend reaching out to help[at]moz.com with an example so we can try and repro this for you.

Hope this helps and let us know if there's anything else you need. Thanks!

Best,

Hey Guys,

Thanks for all the reposes. I have changed it and it seems that the on page optimizer is still using the cashed version. The problem is that it's been almost 6 days

I might try and send an email to the help
