Canonical Tag Points to a Noindex Page on Squarespace
A page canonical tag points to a URL that has a noindex directive. This creates a contradiction: the page defers to a canonical that search engines are told not to index, effectively removing both pages from the index.

This creates a contradiction: the page defers to a canonical that search engines are told not to index, effectively removing both pages from the index.
