Regarding the abc.co beta site we have in test, I did a SEO scan and was told
The Accessible Index Page is Configured wrong.
Search engines see your https://www.abc.co and https://www.abc.co/index.html (or https://www.abc.co/index.php) as different pages. With a variety of URLs, it's more challenging to get consolidated metrics for a specific piece of content.
Who can configure this correctly for us, website developer team or Hosting team? and what they have to do?
Do we need to edit .htaccess file?
I'm not an SEO expert so I might be overlooking something, but you probably want to follow the instructions here:

It's likely just a matter of adding the canonical url meta tag to your index.html page. That way, google knows https://abc.co/index.html is actually https://abc.co/.
Hi, You need to use the Canonical Tag in the header of the site, Canonical Tag will help search engines find out which pages are similar to the original.
Ex : in home page html code use this tage
< link rel="canonical" href="http://example.com/" />
Good luck
