> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Documentation
> Affects Versions: 1.5.0
> Reporter: Patrick Lucas

>
> Flink has suffered for a while with non-optimal SEO for its documentation,
> meaning a web search for a topic covered in the documentation often produces
> results for many versions of Flink, even preferring older versions since
> those pages have been around for longer.
> Using a canonical link element (see references) may alleviate this by
> informing search engines about where to find the latest documentation (i.e.
> pages hosted under [https://ci.apache.org/projects/flink/flink-docs-master/).]
> I think this is at least worth experimenting with, and if it doesn't cause
> problems, even backporting it to the older release branches to eventually
> clean up the Flink docs' SEO and converge on advertising only the latest docs
> (unless a specific version is specified).
