Sales channel, product variants and storefront head
Compare the current canonical SEO URL with previous alias addresses. The canonical should not begin with a historical redirection goal.
Compare the active domain of the sales channel with product and variant addresses. Then check if the theme or extension changes the canonical output. A proper SEO URL in the backend does not yet prove the right head of the storefront.
Where to check the setting in Shopware
In the product, check the SEO setting for a common canonical URL of the variants. Then compare the selected variant, the sales channel domain and the canonical in the Storefront head. In the case of own Twig edition, no second contradictory day may arise.
Example of this specific finding
Illustrative control case: The canonical points to /ratgeber-alt/, this address redirects to /ratgeber/. The desired final URL is already known.
follow-up audit in Shopware
Retrieve the same product in the affected sales channels and with a specific variant. Document channel assignment and desired main product.
Spend the final matching goal directly in the canonical. Orient sitemap and internal links to the same address and verify their response.
Derogations and scope
A forwarding does not automatically make the content unusable. The result initially shows an unnecessary or possibly contradictory intermediate signal.
