Your canonical URL contains a query string (e.g., `?id=123`). While this is sometimes intentional (for example, on a paginated page), it's often a mistake. A canonical URL should typically point to the cleanest, simplest version of the URL, without any extra parameters. It's worth checking to make sure this is what you intended.
<link rel="canonical" href="https://example.com/products?sort=price">If the parameters do not change the core content of the page, the canonical URL should point to the version without the query string.
<link rel="canonical" href="https://example.com/products">Using a clean canonical URL helps to consolidate ranking signals effectively and prevents search engines from indexing multiple versions of the same page.
This issue can affect your site's search engine rankings and user experience. Addressing it promptly helps ensure optimal performance and visibility in search results.
