Canonical URLS starts with // instead of https://

Hello @dicmdk

Thanks for reaching out about your canonical URL. We have seen unexpected issues where the previously optimized data is invalid or incomplete. We’ll start with resetting the optimization to ensure we remove invalid data. Please try the following:

1. Install & activate the Yoast Test Helper plugin
2. Go to Tools > Yoast Test
3. Locate the Yoast SEO section and click on the ‘Reset indexables tables & migrations‘, ‘Reset Prominent words calculation‘, and ‘Reset Internal link counter‘ buttons. After each click, the page will reload to confirm that the specific reset was successful.
4. Go to SEO > Tools, and under SEO data, click the “Start SEO data optimization” button to allow Yoast to rescan your content.

Please let us know if the reported issue remains after resetting the optimized data.

Hello @maybellyne ,
The same issue I’m facing and I have tried to resolve it with the above suggestions but still it’s not fixed may I know any other method for this issue?

when I’m logged in as admin in WordPress it shows “https://” before all URLs but when I view-source it from incognito it shows “//url.com”

It’s affecting my brand/category/product pages to rank because in the search console, it shows “Page is not indexed:?Alternative page with proper canonical tag”
