    I am using the rank math seo plugin since day 1 on my website (www.toolsbrick.com) and the search console giving me an error mentioning ‘Alternative page with proper canonical tag’.

    The same plugin i am using on my other 3 websites but it never give any error.

    How to rectify it, please help.

    Hello,

    It looks like most of these pages are only attributes and filters being applied on the page. These are applied whenever a user interacts on one of your pages and the filter or attribute is written on the URL to help your website remember which option the user has selected:
    https://prnt.sc/6yTTEEayq8RU

    Most of these can be safely ignored since they are being directed to your pages. The only time this would be an issue is if one of your posts/pages has this error and is redirecting to a completely different post.

    Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need my assistance with anything else.

    So you want to say that all of the pages of our website will be indexed properly without any issues and we can ignore this canonical error?

    Hello,

    That is correct. These errors aren’t really “errors” but more of a notification.

    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.

    This ideally means Google recognizes these canonicalized URLs correctly, and there is nothing you need to do on your part.

    Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need my assistance with anything else.
