Canonical URLs relate to the concept of selecting the best URL for the web pages that the visitors want to see. Also, known as canonical tags, these URLs help in content syndication when multiple versions of a same page become available over the Internet. Thus, it is used to resolve issues related to content duplication.

For example, most people would consider these the same urls:

www.example.com
example.com/
www.example.com/index.html
example.com/home.asp

The rel=canonical element, often called the “canonical link”, is an HTML element that helps webmasters prevent duplicate content issues. It does this by specifying the “canonical URL”, the “preferred” version of a web page – the original source, even. Using it well improves a site's SEO.

A canonical URL, sometimes called a "canonical tag," is an HTML attribute that tells search engines where to set the search value or "juice link" for pages with duplicate or very similar content. Online stores often use canonical marks for product pages, which is necessary to maintain the overall search value.

It is a URL which informs what to show to the google and what not and other search engines to crawl a website, and what URL to index that specific page content can lead to search engines. It is important for these terms/facts - It represents the master copy of the page.

A canonical URL is a technical solution for duplicate content. You might, for instance, have a post or product that is attached to two categories and exists under two URLs.

A canonical tag (aka "rel canonical") is a way of telling search engines that a specific URL represents the master copy of a page. Using the canonical tag prevents problems caused by identical or "duplicate" content appearing on multiple URLs.

A canonical URL lets you tell search engines that certain similar URLs are actually the same. Sometimes you have products or content that can be found on multiple URLs — or even multiple websites, but by using canonical URLs (HTML link tags with the attribute rel=canonical), you can have these on your site without harming your rankings.

Link element rel="canonical", often called canonical URL, is an HTML element which helps prevent duplicate content by informing search engines to prefer one document over other identical or similar documents. When page A has a canonical link element referencing page B, you say that page A has been canonicalized.

Canonicalization is the process in which a preferred version of a page is selected over multiple other versions.
