A canonical link element is an HTML element that helps webmasters prevent duplicate content issues by specifying the "canonical" or "preferred" version of a web page as part of search engine optimization.

"Canonical", "canonical tags" "rel = canonical" which many still find, understand common sense alike. This is an HTML tag is placed in the <HEAD> section of a Website - Part of content that users are not visible.
<meta rel=”canonical” href=”http://example.com/content-news.html”/>
