      Good Morning,

      I am just looking for a little bit of advice, I ran a crawl report on our website www.swiftcomm.co.uk. I have resolved most of the issues myself, however I have two questions;-

      Screenshot image http://imgur.com/VlFEiZ2

      1. Highlighted blue, we have two homepages www.swiftcomm.co.uk and www.swiftcomm.co.uk/ both are set with a Rel-Canonical Target of www.swiftcomm.co.uk/. Will this cause me any SEO issues and or other potential issue? If this may cause an issue how would I go about resolving?

      2. Highlighted yellow, Our contact and referral-form are showing as duplicate title and meta description. Both of these pages have separate title and meta desc which it does seem to be detecting. If I search the page in google it returns the correct title and meta desc. The only common denominator behind these pages is that both have php pages behind them for the contact form. Do you think that the moz crawl may be detecting the php page over the html? Could this be cause any issues when search engines crawl the site?

      Kind Regards

      Jonathan Mack

        Hi Jonathan,

        When I visit your site and I go to www.swiftcomm.co.uk/, it redirects me to www.swiftcomm.co.uk, so this looks OK.If I check the Google cache for both versions of the URL, the only one cached is www.swiftcomm.co.uk/ - this looks fine to me.

        Might I suggest you download Screaming Frog and run a crawl with that as well, just to be sure. I can't do this today myself as I am on a Chrome box.

        -Andy
