# Obsidian Publish Homepage at Root Path Obsidian Publish redirects the root URL (`/`) to a named path like `/home`, which produces a non-standard URL and can cause SEO duplicate-content issues. Forum threads dating back to 2023 have asked how to serve the homepage at `/` without a redirect. The solution is the `permalink` frontmatter property. Setting `permalink: /` on the homepage note serves it at the root path. However, the note must first be published with a different path before the `permalink: /` frontmatter is added. Publishing a note with `permalink: /` from the start doesn’t work. Publish the note normally, then update the frontmatter to include `permalink: /` and republish.
