With TYPO3, it is possible to have a trailing slash in your URLs, but also without them - depending on the use-case.
By default, TYPO3 does not have a trailing slash at the end of each URL, but there are some technical limitations, why it e.g. happens on the home page, where there is always a trailing slash.
You can configure an ending like ".html" or "/" for each URL, and have more enhancers for plugins.
This extension works in a naive way to remove trailing slashes from
- All generated links
- All your canonical URLs
It even redirects incoming URLs with a trailing slash into the same page without.
Install the extension, ensure that all your site configuration base's for languages do NOT have a trailing slash
Good: base: 'https://example.com/en'
Bad: base: 'https://example.com/en/'
Good: base: '/fr'
Bad: base: '/fr/'
That's it.
-
Ensure that you do not have a enhancer or PageType decorator that creates URLs (also for plugins) with a trailing slash.
-
Redirects will only work on GET or HEAD requests.

- This is currently an "all-in" solution - you can't disable this feature on a per-site basis.
