Trailing slash - GSC page with redirect issue, could internal links cause this?

[Alma]

Hey,

For a long time I have had this issue in my GSC:

After going through them yesterday, I have realised what might be cause of this. All the urls listed there do not have the trailing slash "/".
I have checked my WP permalink settings and they are correct:

, so that means all my posts "officially" have the trailing slash at the end of the url. Then I was checking some pages and I realised what is probably going on. I have about 20k internal links, but all the links are without the trailing slash.

Does anybody know, if adding the trailing slash to the all internal links would fix this issue? Is it possible that the internal links are the only reason for GSC to show the pages without the trailing slash, or could there be another reason I am missing?

Hope this is not too confusing, thanks!
Alma

Yes, slash can play role in fixing problem. In GSC properties of URL slash may not be at end of the URL, so Google will add it and it will be like 2 addresses. But variant without slash will not be displayed in GSC and taken into account when collecting statistics. Fix this, try adding a feature (filter) that will forces the use of the slash in the URL (add it at the end) in your analytic reports

But you can try it:

Я проверил свои настройки постоянной ссылки WP, и они верны:

, так что

Try typing /%postname% (without the slash), refresh and typing /%postname%/ again (with the slash)
