In short

What is the Canonical Tag Generator?

The canonical tag generator creates a link tag that tells search engines which address is the preferred version of a page. Enter the address, optionally remove the query string, and paste the result in the head section. A canonical tag is a strong hint, not a command.

How to use it

  1. Enter the page address you want treated as the main version.
  2. Tick the box to remove tracking parameters if they are not needed.
  3. Copy the link tag.
  4. Paste it inside the head section of that page.
Questions

Canonical Tag Generator — FAQ

What is a canonical tag for?

It points search engines to the preferred address when similar or duplicate content is reachable at several addresses.

Should a page canonical itself?

Yes, a self-referencing canonical is a common practice and helps when parameters or variants of the address exist.

Will search engines always obey it?

Not always. It is a hint, and they may choose another address if signals conflict.
