Canonical to Non-Indexable URL

Error canonical.non_indexable_target

What it means

The canonical points at a URL that is noindex, an error, or itself redirected — so it names a page search engines will not index. The signal is discarded and this page may be dropped with it.

How to fix it

Point the canonical at a URL that returns 200 and is indexable, or remove it and let the page stand on its own.
