Symptom

  • In Site Audit > Analysis > Overview the following message is displayed in the Error field:
    "​Canonical Link correct"

  • In the source code of the start URL, the canonical begins with http:// , but the start URL in the Site Audit begins with https://

Cause

The canonical link does not match the start URL of the Site Audit.

Solution

Match the canonical tag and the start URL:

  • adjust the canonical tag in the source code of the page so that the URL matches the start URL of the on-page analysis

or

  • change the start URL of the onpage analysis so that the URL matches the one from the canonical tag
