In other words, a canonical URL is the URL that you want visitors to see. Quite often canonical URLs were used to describe the homepage. The typical example used is that most people treat the following URLs as the same: www.example.com. example.com

A canonical URL is the search engine-friendly URL that you want the search engines to treat as the most authoritative URL for that web page content. It is also the URL you want people to see in the search results.

A canonical link part is AN hypertext markup language part that helps webmasters forestall duplicate content problems by specifying the "canonical" or "preferred" version of an online page as a part of program optimization.

Sojan Babu · 05-31-2017, 02:24 AM

The canonical tag is an important tag used in SEO optimization to avoid possible content duplication between two pages published with content similarity. If the same content portion is published with more than 1 URL it may cause content duplication. To avoid the problems of content duplication canonical tags are used.
