What is a Canonical Tag?
A canonical tag (rel="canonical") tells search engines which version of a URL is the preferred or "canonical" version when you have duplicate or similar content accessible through multiple URLs. This helps consolidate ranking signals and prevents duplicate content issues.
Why Use Canonical Tags?
- Fix duplicate content issues and consolidate ranking signals
- Prevent search engines from indexing multiple versions of the same page
- Control which URL appears in search results
- Handle URL parameters and session IDs properly
- Improve SEO by focusing link equity on one URL
When to Use Canonical Tags
Use canonical tags when you have duplicate content (HTTP/HTTPS, www/non-www, URL parameters, pagination, or printer-friendly versions). Always point to the preferred version. You can use self-referencing canonicals on unique pages. Place the canonical tag in the <head> section of your HTML.
