Common errors and fixes
Eight issues users hit.
Page blocked by robots.txt or bot protection
Cause: The site blocks server-side requests from unknown user agents.
Fix: Allow server-side fetches temporarily, or test a public page that is reachable without login or bot protection.
Title tags appear unique here but differ in Search Console
Cause: Google may rewrite titles, or the page may inject tags after the initial HTML loads.
Fix: Compare the page source, rendered HTML, and Search Console URL Inspection output to find which system is changing the title.
Plugin and theme both output metadata
Cause: An SEO plugin adds a title or description while the theme also hardcodes one.
Fix: Disable one source of metadata so the page renders a single title and description tag.
Layout and page component both add a title
Cause: A shared layout renders a title while the page component also injects one.
Fix: Keep metadata in one place, usually the framework metadata API or one SEO component.
Empty description on a template page
Cause: The CMS template is missing a description field or the field only renders when optional metadata exists.
Fix: Add a fallback description to the template or require editors to fill the field before publishing.
Local page works but production shows duplicates
Cause: Production has a different theme, plugin, tag manager snippet, or layout wrapper than your local environment.
Fix: Check the live URL, then compare the rendered head output against the deployed template.
Report misses JavaScript-injected tags
Cause: The page adds metadata after load instead of sending it in the initial HTML response.
Fix: Render SEO tags server-side with Next.js metadata, getStaticProps, or your CMS template so crawlers see them reliably.
Language pages share the same metadata
Cause: Translated pages inherited the same title and description from the default locale template.
Fix: Check one page per locale and add localized metadata fields to the template.
