Hello ,

Hello,

Following my previous message, we had to make manual calls of each page on the site buttons to avoid having pages with the .html and pages without. (for SEO)

I just did an analysis on Google Analytics and unfortunately we have duplicate urls with different call forms.

Have you ever encountered this problem on one of your sites?
How will I be able to resolve this and force to have a single url form for Google?

Thank you for your help

You can see on the picture :
/marketplace + /marketplace.html + www.dotmarket/marketplace for example
same for the home page : / and www.dotmarket.eu

@Joseph-Benguira said in How to "force" redirect from .html to clean version?:

anonical url is the same regardless of the access url with or without html

Hello Joseph thanks for the quick feedback.
Unfortunately, that does not seem to be the case.

Shortly after switching to no .html, we lost all rankings.
As of today, our home page has 3 different versions, all index by google (talk about duplicate content :)) and all pages are indexed twice. Once with .html and once without.

Running several tools, we identified that all pages are thus considered duplicate, and being penalized by google. We do not rank on any related KW, even very long tail, with our root domain related URLS.

.html is properly set to without html canonical as per your tool.
Yet the redirection is not working (i tried using the redirection tool to force html to non html, it didn't work. See for instance https://www.dotmarket.eu/estimation.html wih is set to redirect to https://www.dotmarket.eu/estimation.

Happy if you have a solution to this!
If not, we might just go back to having all our URL with .html
Not as clean, but it did use to rank

Hello Appdrag team
Despite allowing the rewriting of URL to remove the html, we notice that all pages are indexed in duplicate. .html do not redirect to clean URL. Causing major SEO issues....
I tried forcing a redirection using the redirection tool for a .html page to its version without it, but it does not seem to be effective. Would love some help figuring out how to force URL rewriting and redirection. Is there an htaccess file somewhere to write it inside? Or another way to do so? Thanks a lot
