Use Lowercase URLs to Prevent Duplicate Content Issues

URL Analyzer

What is this warning?

A URL on your site contains uppercase letters. While this might work on some servers, many servers are case-sensitive. This means `/Page` and `/page` could be treated as two different URLs, leading to duplicate content issues that can split your SEO value. The best practice is to use lowercase for all URLs.
