Checks / Links, canonical and speed
Internal links use #/ routes
A link to /#/pass is the home page to a crawler: the fragment is dropped, so the page behind it has no address of its own and cannot be indexed or cited.
internal_hash_links · Links, canonical and speed · Warning
What triggers it
Internal links in a page's HTML point to a #/ route (the address after the # does the routing).
What to change
Give each view its own path (/pass) that answers with its own HTML, and link to that path.
Example
HTML to put in the page:
<a href="/pass">Pass</a>How to confirm the fix
- Open the page, hover the link: the address is a path (/pass), not /#/pass, and it loads on its own
- Run a new crawl
