AI Product Index / canonical URL declared

canonical URL declared

Duplicate URLs split whatever reputation a page earns. A canonical collapses them into one citable address, which matters more when the citer is a model that will only ever quote one.

How to pass it

Add <link rel="canonical"> so duplicate URLs collapse to one citable address.

Paste-ready

Replace {{ORIGIN}} with your own origin — or call the paid endpoint, which substitutes it for you and tells you which checks you actually failed.

<!-- in <head>. Must be the URL that actually serves 200, not a redirect. -->
<link rel="canonical" href="{{ORIGIN}}/">

Check your own site

Free, no signup, same endpoint that produced every grade on the leaderboard:

curl "https://index.percall.dev/api/score?url=https://your-site.example"

It returns the letter grade and every check by name with pass/fail. The $0.05 call at POST /api/audit adds why each one failed and a snippet with your origin already in it.
