What is a canonical tag?

A canonical tag is an HTML link element that tells search engines which URL is the preferred version of a page. It is commonly used when similar or duplicate pages can be reached through more than one URL.

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to common questions about using this tool.

What is a canonical tag? +

A canonical tag is an HTML link element that points search engines to the preferred URL for a page. It is usually placed in the head section of the HTML.

Should canonical URLs be absolute? +

Yes. Canonical tags should use full absolute URLs that include the protocol and domain, such as https://example.com/page.

Can I use canonical tags across domains? +

Yes, cross-domain canonical tags are possible when the preferred version of the content lives on another domain. Use them carefully and only when that is the intended canonical page.

Should I remove tracking parameters? +

Usually yes for canonical URLs. Tracking parameters such as utm_source or gclid often create duplicate URL versions that should point back to the clean page URL.

Does this tool check if my page already has a canonical tag? +

No. This generator creates copy-ready canonical tags from the URLs you enter. It does not crawl or inspect live pages.

Where do I place the canonical tag? +

Place the generated canonical tag inside the head section of the HTML page that should reference the preferred URL.
