Duplicate Home Page URLs: / and /index Both Accessible

[AntoineKM]

When using Nextra to create a home page, an /index.mdx file is required to define the content. This setup results in two accessible URLs leading to the same content:

• https://nextra.site/
• https://nextra.site/index

This duplication can be confusing and may lead to potential SEO issues or unwanted behavior.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a new Nextra site or use an existing one.
2. Add an index.mdx file to define the home page content.
3. Access the home page via both https://nextra.site/ and https://nextra.site/index.

Expected Behavior

Only one URL should be accessible for the home page content, preferably https://nextra.site/.

Actual Behavior

Both https://nextra.site/ and https://nextra.site/index show the same home page content, leading to duplicate content accessibility.

Suggested Solution

Consider implementing a redirect or a mechanism to ensure that only one URL (e.g., https://nextra.site/) is accessible for the home page, and the other URL (https://nextra.site/index) is redirected or results in a 404 error.

I think it’s an upstream issue from Next.js? Should be fixed with app router migration in Nextra 4
