Issue with redirection in sitemap as per ahrefs audit
-
Hi there, hope to be able to find some help here.
ahrefs audit is indicating some URLs entries in the sitemap have a non-canonical element that points to a different URL.
This issue is flagged by ahrefs audit as “ Non-canonical page in sitemap”. Sitemap: https://myspanishconnect.com/sitemap_index.xml.
The problem is that I can’t find those URLs in anywhere in the sitemap. Where is ahrefs reading this URLs from?
Example of URL with the issue according to the audit report
https://myspanishconnect.com/stories/spanish-stories-for-beginners-ep7/
URL available in the sitemap:
https://myspanishconnect.com/stories/spanish-stories-for-beginners-ep7Please note the only difference between URLs is in the slash at the end. Also note the site’s permalink structure is without the slash at the end.
Further, all URLs flagged by the ahrefs report belong to the same custom post type ‘/stories/’, created with CPT plugin. See https://myspanishconnect.com/stories-sitemap.xml)
The sitemap is managed by rank math.
Can anyone shed some light on whether this is a real issue we should look at? And if it is any suggestions on what to check how to tackle?Thanks in advance.
