Detects substantially similar content across multiple pages on your site.
This check compares the main body content of every crawled page to find pages with substantially similar or identical text. It uses text similarity algorithms to detect both exact duplicates and near-duplicates (pages that share 80%+ of their content).
When multiple pages have the same or very similar content, search engines must choose which version to index. This can lead to the wrong page ranking, link equity being split across duplicates, and wasted crawl budget on redundant pages.
Duplicate content confuses search engines about which page should rank for a query. It splits ranking signals across multiple URLs and wastes crawl budget. While not a 'penalty' per se, it significantly reduces your site's SEO efficiency.
