Canonical Tag Generator

Create a canonical link tag to avoid duplicate content.

Preferred (canonical) page URL

The canonical tag tells search engines which version of a page is the "main" one, preventing duplicate-content issues from URL variations (trailing slashes, tracking parameters, http vs https). Use the full, absolute URL.

Enter the full page URL (https://…) to generate the canonical tag

Frequently asked questions

Useful information about Canonical Tag Generator.

What is a canonical tag?

A canonical tag (rel="canonical") tells search engines which URL is the 'master' version of a page, so duplicate or near-duplicate URLs don't compete or dilute ranking signals.

When do I need one?

When the same content is reachable at multiple URLs — http vs https, with/without www, trailing slashes, tracking parameters, or printer-friendly versions. Point them all at one canonical URL.

Where does the canonical tag go?

Inside the <head> of the page. Always use the full, absolute URL (including https://) as the canonical target.
