We want to avoid duplicate content so being consistent on the trailing slash or non-trailing slash is an issue we need to fix. We would like to remove the trailing slash but I'm having issues with this working.
We are using Magento 2 but also just realized we have php version 5.3.26 and not the recommended 5.5+. Not sure if that's it or not.
I've tried this (https://magento.stackexchange.com/questions/97296/htaccess-rewriterule-to-remove-trailing-slash):
# remove trailing slash
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \s(.+?)/+[?\s]
RewriteRule ^(.+?)/$ /$1 [R=301,L]
but then we cannot add items to the cart, it just spins and spins.
Is there any other way I might go about removing the trailing slash in Magento 2?
