Why it matters
Decide what changes next
Read this finding as evidence about the affected page, not as a verdict on the whole site. A Review finding needs a decision; a Blocked finding should be addressed before the page moves forward. Coverage findings mean the check is incomplete, not that the page passed.
Next action
How to resolve it
Update the existing page intentionally or choose a different URL; do not create an accidental duplicate.
