Hello @Krishna12 ,

The “Alternate Page with Proper Canonical Tag” status message in Google Search Console means that there are two versions of a page on your website having the same canonical URL. Google will simply exclude the duplicate version and index the main version of the page.

Is there a reasonable resolution to this issue? I have 13.2K Affected pages. There’s no way I can go in to every single page to edit code.

Has anyone found a bulk edit solution to this issue? I’m looking at 12k+ instances to rectify and I too can’t go through all of these one by one.
