Joomla duplicate URLs for home menu items

I use SEO friendly URLs and it happens that my homepage is accessible through two locations:

  1. http://example.com/en/
  2. http://example.com/en/home/

Indeed, the title of this page is "Home" and its automatically assigned alias is "home", but then I have a duplicate content on my site.

What I would like to have is to ban the second URL (path /en/home/) and only use the shorter one.

Solution

  • You could do that with .htaccess but that would be better to find the menu item that create the /home/ link and create a menu alias for that to the home page.

    Menu Item Type -> System Links -> Menu Item Alias
