duplicate description

The same description on many pages wastes the one piece of copy written specifically to differentiate them in the result list.

What indexgap reports

The finding reads:

info  duplicate-description  … other pages share this description

How to fix it

How it behaves at scale

Collapsed when it fires template-wide. If it appears on 90% or more of the pages — or of one language version — of a site with at least 20 pages, it is a property of the template and is reported once, with the count, instead of once per page.

Finding it

pipx install indexgap
cd your-project
indexgap init
indexgap check

Then indexgap brief turns every finding on this page into a work order in indexgap-briefs/, with the thresholds the result has to satisfy and the command to check it.
