Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our services
What is a canonical tag?
A canonical tag (rel=canonical) tells search engines which version of a URL you want to appear in search results. It helps prevent duplicate content issues when the same content is accessible via multiple URLs.
When should I use canonical tags?
Use canonical tags when: the same content exists on multiple URLs, you have URL parameters that create duplicates, you syndicate content to other sites, or you have both www and non-www versions of your site.
Should canonical URLs include or exclude trailing slashes?
Be consistent. If your preferred URL includes a trailing slash, always use it in canonical tags. The canonical URL should match exactly how you want the URL indexed by search engines.
