FAQ
What is a canonical URL?
A canonical URL is the preferred version of a webpage when multiple URLs show similar or identical content. The canonical tag tells search engines which URL to index and consolidates ranking signals to that URL.
When should I use canonical tags?
Use canonical tags when you have duplicate content across multiple URLs, such as pages accessible with or without www, HTTP and HTTPS versions, URL parameters that create duplicates, or paginated content.
Can canonical tags point to different domains?
Yes, canonical tags can point to URLs on different domains. This is useful for syndicated content or when you want to consolidate duplicate content across multiple websites to a single authoritative source.
