How to use Canonical Tag of a website ?

 

[T J Tutor]

A canonical URL is the URL of the principal version of a page when you have duplicate versions of that page on your website.

When you have the sites primary URL as "site.com, but also have "www.site.com". You use the tag (href) to assign the canonical tag.

The same applies to sites that maintain versions at both http:// and https://, or any duplicate pages of an original page.

<link rel="canonical" href="https://example.com/">

I would use a server-side include in the header or page container(wrapper) template --so it is always there when any new page is indexed.

Canonical Tag helps us to prevent duplicacy of the pages having same content. It helps search engine crawlers to understand about the specific page.
