Why is a canonical tag needed?

A canonical tag tells search engines which URL is the representative version of a page. When the same content can be accessed through multiple URLs, it helps search engines understand which URL should be indexed.

Can a canonical URL be a relative path?

Some environments may interpret relative paths, but for SEO management, using an absolute URL starting with https:// is clearer and more reliable.

Is it bad to have multiple canonical tags?

If multiple canonical tags exist, search engines may have difficulty determining the representative URL. In general, it is better to use only one canonical tag per page.

Notice

This tool checks canonical tags based on the HTML code you enter. The result may differ from the final rendered page, so for live pages, it is recommended to also check the browser source or rendered HTML.
