Hey Warriors, i checked my website search console and it provides these details:

Duplicate Meta description = 109
Duplicate Tittle Tags = 6

My Website contains 127 posts. Everything seems normal except these. I want to know if these will affect my website or not ?

Thanx in advance

    Your pages or post have same title and meta description, it happens when you have different post on one page as page is one, but if this happening to different pages then you can change this of more impact.

    Title tags have a more direct impact on ranking so I would suggest ensuring each of those are unique.

    Meta descriptions encourage a click-through - so while not directly impacting ranking - they're like a mini sales pitch.

    The dupe title tags will have a greater negative impact so I would get those updated right away.

    It seems that you have used same meta description for all post and there are 6 posts with same title. If you are using WordPress and Yoast Plugin for SEO you can easily get rid of this problem. You have sat a default meta description for all pages in your Website. That's why when you create new post or page the meta description applied automatically.
    Remove it, it's not user-friendly and harmful for you. Try to use something relevant in the meta description with the post.

    Yes, those are problems that should be fixed. Duplicate title tags, especially, could affect your ranking. Duplicate meta descriptions will likely get re-written by Google and they will replace yours with random snippets from your pages.
