Frequently Asked Questions

What is a canonical tag?

A canonical tag (rel=canonical) tells search engines which version of a page is the preferred one when multiple URLs have similar content.

Why are canonical tags important?

Without canonical tags, search engines may index duplicate pages, diluting your ranking signals across multiple URLs.

What is a self-referencing canonical?

A self-referencing canonical is when a page's canonical tag points to itself. This is the correct setup for most pages.

What causes canonical conflicts?

Conflicts arise when the canonical points to a page that has a different canonical, creating a chain. This confuses search engines about the preferred version.
