I miss the information in your data about what specifically was not implemented correctly in the shop. Please understand that I can only check this bug entry with concrete information and examples. |

HonestlyI do not think that's my task to explain the solution. I just can tell that the www.screamingfrog.com as leading SEO tool marks the canonical use in Oxid shops as wrong. Please see the screenshots for their report for further explanation. You can also download a free testing version: https://www.screamingfrog.co.uk/seo-spider/pricing/ |

Steps to reproduce and explanation: The store is accessed with the following URL: DOMAIN/?lang=0 After this the following data can be found in the html header: <meta name="ROBOTS" content="NOINDEX, FOLLOW"> <link rel="canonical" href="DOMAIN/"> Issue 1: noindex tells search engines not to index. If the store is called without language parameter, no robots will be generated. Issue 2: A canonical link is specified, declaring the page to be a copy. Thus an indexing is excluded. In older store versions (tested in 6.3) the canonical link pointed to DOMAIN/startpage. Therefore I opened the store with also the following URL: DOMAIN/startpage/?lang=0 There is no robots. But: <link rel="canonical" href="DOMAIN/"> This results in the page also being rated as non-indexable because a canonical link is provided. |

wrong canonical tags can have severe negative impact on ranking. I don´t understand why the priority isn`t very high. |
