Canonical URL
A canonical URL is the main version of a page declared for search engines to avoid duplicate content issues. It tells crawlers which URL carries authority.
Why it’s important
- Consolidates SEO signals across duplicates.
- Prevents split indexing and cannibalization.
- Clarifies canonical destination after redirects.
