ShippedChange check — first crawl stores a baseline

Became CANONICALISED

What this page tests

Check Indexability state (indexability.state), alert indexability.state_canonicalised.

Monitored URLs now point their canonical elsewhere. Google may consolidate indexing to the preferred URL, which is correct for duplicates but harmful if the wrong target is chosen.

Why it matters

Monitored URLs now point their canonical elsewhere. Google may consolidate indexing to the preferred URL, which is correct for duplicates but harmful if the wrong target is chosen.

How the fail is produced

Canonical points at the homepage instead of this URL so state becomes CANONICALISED.

This page is part of the TechDash Test Site used to exercise the TechDash desktop app. Each fixture isolates a single check so you can add one path at a time and see a clear pass or fail. Search engines and users rely on stable HTTP responses, index signals, metadata, and site files. When those signals drift, organic visibility, crawl efficiency, and measurement can all suffer. Keep the homepage as the healthy control origin, then monitor the specific path you want to fail. Substantial body copy is included so thin-content and soft-404 heuristics do not fire unless that is the intended test.
