    jmhalpin got a reaction from iPhoneIntact in Non-canonical pages listed in the sitemap - How to Fix?   
    @i3D This X 100. Planning on site migrations to WP soon. SS refuses to help or acknowledge the issue, but the word is spreading. I really think SS focused on beginners making a pretty - not optimized - website.

    So glad it's not just me! I've restarted the computer several times and bounced between browsers to see if I can make things go faster. Been like this since Friday afternoon for me. Anyone know what's up?

    @RebekahWatters Same! its like a 10 second delay when adding a space, or clicking something and makes typing anything a pain and so many times it wont save and i lose everything. I'm glad its not just me so hopefully they fix it, its so frustrating!

    It's so bad 😭 It's taking about a minute just for my cursor to show up when I click on a section of text to edit! Have to save each tiny change straight away because if I make too many changes it just freaks out and doesn't save any of it. SO FRUSTRATING.

    Adding to this commentary about the editor. INSANELY SLOW. Barely usable.

    jmhalpin reacted to i3D in Non-canonical pages listed in the sitemap - How to Fix?   
    I've noticed the canonical issue for some years now, never made an issue until recently. Google and Bing finally caught up with the canonical issue and now everything is going sideways. One website that I manage have SEO description on the site root/home. in the sitemap /home priority is 1. So Bing and Google are ignoring it because it is canonical. Now the sitemap order that Squarespace generate is all random (order is for the weak) so now Google decides to look for a site description, and it does so by going from the top to bottom (yay the order is all sideways!!). The first on the list is the, but the blog page doesn't have SEO and it has a priority of 0.75 so it is ignored. The 2nd page is that of a podcast article (not first, not last, just one in the middle, as random as it can get), with a priority of 0.5. So Google decides to pick that one up and lo and behold my client website is currently owned by the guest on that podcast page. I kid you not.
    I spent a couple of days analyzing and writing detailed step by step (with pictures) and a technical explanation of what happened and why is it happening and sent it to the support. Only to be pushed back and not reading a a single thing and just picking the first answer from their hat (One even suggested that SEO strategy is not a Squarespace support issue!!!). Eventually after a long day of battle a senior support person reached with all the introduction and credentials in place, the response was the following: "We tested it Facebook and works in Facebook, so if it works in Facebook this means the problem is with Google."
    It took a lot of restraint to keep calm and request the issue to be raised to the engineers. Eventually it was forwarded but we were told not to expect any answer soon!!!
    Yes I am dishing out. But God the level of stupidity is jarring. My client is losing traffic, quantifiable metrics we can see and measure from Google Search Console and all Squarespace have to say is to push back and shift the blame to an SEO strategy and Google.
    I've had my fair share of issues with Squarespace and SEO in the past, and I've always managed to patch things up with a scotch tape. I could write my own sitemap.xml and give that to google search console instead. By seriously Squarespace GYST. Yes you have a well rounded CMS with solid backend and authoring tool, but claiming you are SEO optimized is the furthest from the truth. You are not SEO friendly or even optimized by a looooooooooong shot. Your SEO is stupid, there I said it, it is stupid and done by incompetence engineers, so grow up and Fix the problem rather than patching it.
    This is the straw guys, GYST because life is too short to keep patching things up to cover for your incompetence. And if you think my words are harsh and out of line, well now you get a taste of what I go through trying to explain to my client that the advise and decision to build their website on Squarespace was faaaaaaaar better than building on WordPress, ohhh and praising the level of support (that once was and lost). Only to fail miserably when faced with something as catastrophic as displaying the wrong site brand and description with constant pushback from the (once was) legendary support.

    Add the following to Design > Custom CSS.
    .Header-inner--top .Header-nav-folder {   column-gap : 1rem;   display : grid;   grid-template-columns : 1fr 1fr;      } This is for v7.0 using the Brine template family.
    Let us know how it goes.

    I just did a quick analysis and found the page url under xml sitemap here https://mymichiganbeach.com/sitemap.xml
    Your page has already been indexed and there's nothing to worry about it at all. It must be a bug in GSC usually it shows submitted in sitemap when you submit latest version of sitemap.
    Or you can once again submit the latest version of sitemap

    jmhalpin reacted to Florian in Non-canonical pages listed in the sitemap - How to Fix?   
    Same question here!
    I think every Squarespace site has this problem: the homepage URL is redirected to the domain URL
    www.example.com/homepage -> www.example.com
    It works well, but the homepage URL still stay in the sitemap. It seems that GSC manage it well (and redirect the page), but is there a way to fix this error? Has this an impact on SEO?
    Thanks in advance!

    I am having the same problem. My sitemap has a URL that isn't even on my website. I have checked all the pages and the one that's included on my sitemap doesn't really exist. Please help me on this.
