Check Redirect Chain ```bash # Should redirect: HTTP → HTTPS → Remove www curl -I http://crypt0pulse.com/ curl -I https://www.crypt0pulse.com/ # Both should end up at: https://crypt0pulse.com/ ``` ### 2. Verify Canonical Tag ```bash curl -s https://crypt0pulse.com | grep canonical # Should show: <link rel="canonical" href="https://crypt0pulse.com" /> ``` ### 3. Check Schema.org 1. Go to https://schema.org/validator/ 2. Enter: https://crypt0pulse.com 3. Verify Organization and SoftwareApplication schemas are present ### 4. Verify Sitemap 1. Check https://crypt0pulse.com/sitemap.xml 2. All URLs should be HTTPS without www ### 5. Test Redirects in Google Search Console 1. Go to Google Search Console 2. Check "Coverage" for canonical issues 3.
