What is the Canonicalization and Use?

[Taylor Minaj]

The canonical URL allows you to tell search engines that certain similar URLs are actually one and the same. Sometimes you have products or content that is accessible under multiple URLs, or even on multiple websites. Using rel=canonical you can have this without harming your rankings.

A canonical tag specifies the source URL (or original content page) of a given page to a search engine such as Google.

Canonicalization is the process of converting data that involves more than one representation into a standard approved format. Such a conversion ensures that data conforms to canonical rules.

A canonical tag specifies the source URL (or original content page) of a given page to a search engine such as Google. Canonical tags are used to declare a single page as its own source or for duplicate pages to reference their source / originating page. Search Engines use the canonical tag to combat duplicate content issues and assign search engine ranking value for that content to the page designated as the source URL.

Canonicalization is use to remove the duplicacy issue. If you have multiple url having same results it creates duplicacy issue and to remove this issue we use canonical tag.

In computer science, canonicalization (sometimes standardization or normalization) is a process for converting data that has more than one possible representation into a "standard", "normal", or canonical form.
