What is the real use and purpose of canonical tags and urls in html of one website? What does it has to do with SEO?
Main Purpose of Canonical Tag is Block the web page for Search Engine Crawling, because .com and .com/index.html have same design, content, coding ect. So Search Engine Confuse which page is correct.
The canonical tag is planned to reduce crawl errors and duplicate content in your website.The idea is to help the search engines understand that you plan for one specific page on your website to be the true page.
A webpage in a website can be accessed by different URLs. Canonical tags tells search engines robots, which link should be indexed to avoid duplicate page indexing and penalization.Quote:
