Capital letters in the address

WarningLow priority

Addresses of this site whose path has capital letters in it.

Why it matters

Most servers treat the path as case-sensitive, so a link written in the wrong case is a 404 — or worse, a second copy of the same page.

How to fix it

Serve the page from a lowercase address and redirect the mixed-case one to it.

Skitter runs this check on every crawl, and lists each page it finds with the evidence: the header, the tag or the link that gave it away.
