Canonical Tag Generator
The Canonical Tag Generator creates a `<link rel="canonical">` tag, which tells search engines which URL is the preferred, authoritative version of a page.
This is especially useful when the same content is reachable through multiple URLs, helping avoid duplicate content issues.
How to Use the Canonical Tag Generator
- Open the Canonical Tag Generator.
- Enter the preferred URL for the page.
- Copy the generated canonical tag.
- Paste it into the page's head section.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why would a page have multiple URLs?
This can happen with URL parameters, trailing slashes, http vs https, or www vs non-www versions of the same page.
Should every page have a canonical tag?
It's generally good practice, even a self-referencing canonical tag (pointing to the page's own URL) helps confirm the preferred version to search engines.
Is anything uploaded when I use this tool?
No. The tag is generated entirely in your browser -- nothing is sent to a server.
