Are /news and /news/ two different pages?


Just been looking through my Google analytics and have found two entries for the news section

/news/    =     150 page views

/news     =     127 page views

This is for the site greatlearning

Should I ask our web developer to redirect /news to /news/ ?


Solution

  • I'd put in the redirect if /news and /news/ are guaranteed to have the same content. They are technically different URLs, so they'll both show up in indexes, caches, statistics, etc.
