Hi friends,

Why do we use canonical url?


Michealyardy

If you have a single page accessible by multiple URLs, or different pages with similar content (for example, a page with both a mobile and a desktop version), Google sees these as duplicate versions of the same page. Google will choose one URL as the canonical version and crawl that, and all other URLs will be considered duplicate URLs and crawled less often.

A canonical tag (aka "rel canonical") is a way of telling search engines that a specific URL represents the master copy of a page. Using the canonical tag prevents problems caused by identical or "duplicate" content appearing on multiple URLs.

Canonical  is used to specify which URL that you want people to see in search results.

Canonical URLs help search engines consolidate the information they have for the individual URLs (such as links to them) into a single, authoritative URL. Additionally, if you syndicate your content for publication on other domains, canonical URLs help to consolidate page ranking to your preferred URL.
