About Canonical URLs
Canonical tags tell search engines which URL version is the "official" one when the same content exists at multiple URLs. This is essential for preventing duplicate content issues.
Common duplicate scenarios include HTTP vs HTTPS, www vs non-www, trailing slashes, URL parameters, and paginated content. Each needs proper canonical handling.
Self-referencing canonicals (pointing to the same page) are a best practice. They reinforce the preferred URL even when no duplicates exist.
Cross-domain canonicals can consolidate content syndicated across multiple domains, though search engines may not always honor them.
