      My website is showing/indexed on Google search results twice, with IP address and domain name
      I'm using AWS LightSail
      I don't know how to fix this, beside I'm afraid this duplicate can harm my website

        @mupetra Having duplicate content indexed on search engines can harm your website's SEO. It can confuse search engines and users, negatively impacting your rankings.
        There are several ways to fix this issue:

        • Redirect your IP address to your domain name using a 301 redirect. It tells search engines that your IP address is a duplicate of your domain name and to only index your domain name.
        • Use a canonical tag on your IP address page, which tells search engines that your domain name is the preferred version of the page. You can add this to the head section of your HTML code.
        • Use the robots.txt file to disallow search engines from indexing your IP address. You can do this by adding the following line to your robots.txt file:
          User-agent: * Disallow: /
          It will disallow search engines from indexing any page on your IP address.
        • Contact AWS LightSail support for further assistance in resolving this issue.
