Frequently Asked Questions
What is a canonical URL?
A canonical URL tells search engines which version of a page is the "original" when duplicate or similar content exists at multiple URLs. It prevents duplicate content issues.
When should I use canonical tags?
Use canonical tags when the same content is accessible at multiple URLs (e.g., with/without www, HTTP/HTTPS, URL parameters). Point all variations to the preferred version.
Can a canonical tag point to a different domain?
Yes, cross-domain canonicals are supported. This is useful when content is syndicated across multiple sites — point the canonical to the original source.
