Why it matters

How Patch checks
We look for <link rel="canonical"> on each page we crawl.
How to fix it
2.

Your own report goes further: it names the exact pages, services and settings Patch found on your site, and with a full report you get a fix prompt to paste into Lovable, Bolt or Cursor.
Where this applies
