Canonical URL Guide
Learn how to prevent duplicate content issues with canonical tags
What is a Canonical URL?
A canonical URL tag tells search engines which version of a page is the master copy when multiple URLs contain similar or identical content. This helps prevent duplicate content penalties and consolidates ranking signals to your preferred URL.
How to Use This Tool
- Enter your base URL with preferred format (https, www preference)
- Map source URLs (with parameters) to their canonical versions
- Configure URL normalization options (HTTPS, trailing slash)
- Copy and add the canonical link tags to your page head section
SEO Best Practices
- Always use absolute URLs in canonical tags, not relative paths
- Self-referencing canonicals are recommended for all pages
- Ensure canonical URLs return 200 status codes, not redirects
Search Engine Support
Canonical tags are supported by Google, Bing, Yahoo, and Yandex. Search engines treat them as hints rather than directives, so ensure your implementation is consistent across your site.
