HubSpot pages sharing the same URL

Why it matters

Editors may update the page that is not actually live, so changes appear to do nothing.

Duplicates confuse canonical URLs and redirects. Search engines can index the wrong version, and a migration can carry both pages across.

Duplicate URLs often come from cloning a page, from domain changes, or from a landing page and a website page built for the same campaign.

How to find it in HubSpot

1. 1Open Content > Website Pages and Content > Landing Pages and filter to published pages.
2. 2Sort or export each list by URL.
3. 3Look for the same address appearing twice, ignoring a trailing slash and letter case.
4. 4Open the live URL in a browser to see which page actually loads.

How to fix it safely

1. 1Decide which page is the real one, with input from the page and campaign owners.
2. 2Move any content or forms still needed from the duplicate to the live page.
3. 3Unpublish or archive the duplicate, and give it a new URL or a redirect if it was ever linked to directly.
4. 4Check campaign links, emails and ads that pointed to either page.

Before you change anything: Confirm which page is live and which campaigns depend on it before you unpublish anything. Unpublishing the wrong page takes it offline.

How Ancil checks this

Rule

CMS-008

What it looks for

Reads up to 500 website pages and up to 500 landing pages. Among published or scheduled pages, it normalizes each URL by lowercasing it and removing a trailing slash, then flags any URL shared by more than one page.

Severity

Warning.

Evidence shown

Up to 25 duplicate URL groups, each with the IDs of the pages that share it.

Governed fix

Not automated. Ancil does not unpublish or change pages. It reports the duplicates, and your team (or an INSIDEA expert) decides which page stays.
