Building a prosperous on-line presence could be time consuming and competitive. Very optimized internet sites tend to attain a greater volume of visitors and consequently a lot more interest and small business.

Use this tag in head section of a webpage Ex: page 1

<link rel="canonical" href="http://www.your-domain.com/page-2"/>

Canonical tag is basically used to tell Google to avoid duplicate page and about the version of url you are targeting. The syntax for the same is very easy, use the below syntax on the targeted page under header section.

<link rel="canonical" href="http://www.your-domain.com/" />

If you want your canonical link to be the url that contains the collection name, and assuming each product is only in a single collection, then the following code should work



{% if template == 'product' %}
{% if product.collections %}
<link rel="canonical" href="{{ shop.url }}{{product.collections.first.url}}{{ product.url }}" />
{% endif %}
{% endif %}

You have to use Canonical tag for less important page to refference your original or important webapage.
