???? This is one of the most overlooked technical SEO errors that can silently harm your rankings.

If your website is accessible directly via its IP address (e.g., http://93.184.216.34/), you risk:
❌ Duplicate Content: Confusing Google and splitting your authority.
❌ Diluted Link Equity: Wasting the power of any backlinks pointing to the IP.
❌ Broken HTTPS & User Trust: Causing scary security warnings for visitors.
