User Message:
Google chooses the wrong page for inclusion.

During development the Web app was published at: owlboard.fjla.uk and is still available at this URL for the benefit of users that registered before owlboard.info was obtained.

Google is selecting the original FJLA URL in its search results.

Possible solutions are:
On each page, add a head tag `

Stop hosting the web-app at more than one URL.

Redirect all requests to the FJLA url with a 'Moved Permanently' code.

The quickest way to fix Google results is probably to combine option one and three.

If no users are still using the FJLA URL, then option one and two would be simpler to implement.

Option one has been implemented with a <link rel="canonical" href="{url.self}" /> on each page.

A re-validation has been requested on Google search console.
