rel=’shortlink’ SEO impact + How to remove

  • Hi

    I have noticed <link rel='shortlink' href='https://domain.com?p=712' /> appearing in a lot of site checkers on my sites

    Does this have any SEO impact? (Good or bad) and should it be removed?

    Thanks
    Tom

    That tells a search engine that regardless of your permalink settings, that particular link will always point to the page in question. There are plugins to remove it, but it does not hurt your SEO.
