Same titles in Webmasters' tools

[EndeR-]

Hello,

In webmasters' tools I get a message saying I have 505 pages html improvements that are possible because 505 of my titles are used on two pages. Actually, webmasters' tools is tripping since the doubles they find are:

www.example.com

and

www.example.com/

Anyways, I have indexation problems and I was wondering if this could be the case and how to solve that.

Thanks for your help;

Hi,

I would just ignore that. No real harm can come out of this.

However, if you do have some time on your hands and there is no other better use of it I would look at the logs and see if Google Bot is hiting both version. If that is the case then you need to deal with those as you are wasting crawl budget that can be used in a more productive way (but that's only if you have a big site and crawling can actually improve your performance).

Hope it helps.

To me it sounds like the root of the issue is a canonical url problem. It is hard to tell exactly without knowing more though.
