    According to Google, a canonical URL is the URL of the most representative page in a set of repeating pages. For example, if there are two URLs for the same page (such as example.com?dress=1234 and example.com/dresses/1234 ), Google will choose one of them as the canonical URL.

    A canonical URL is the preferred version of a web page that search engines use to determine the authoritative or primary URL when multiple URLs have the same or similar content. It helps prevent duplicate content issues and consolidates the ranking signals for a particular page, improving SEO (Search Engine Optimization).

    In the context of web development and search engine optimization (SEO), a canonical URL refers to the preferred or authoritative URL for a specific webpage. It is used to indicate the URL that should be considered the primary version of a webpage when there are multiple URLs that could lead to the same content.

    Canonical URLs are important because search engines may treat different URLs as separate pages, which can result in duplicate content issues and dilute the SEO value of the webpage. By specifying a canonical URL, website owners can inform search engines about the preferred URL version to index and display in search results.

    A canonical URL is an HTML element that defines the preferred or canonical version of a webpage when numerous versions of the same content exist. It is used to handle issues with duplicate content and search engine optimization (SEO).

    here's an example:
    <head>
    <link rel="canonical" href="https://www.example.com/preferred-page">
    <!-- Other head elements -->
    </head>

    Canonical URLs are used to address duplicate content problems, which can occur for a variety of reasons, including using different URL parameters, and session IDs, or creating numerous copies of the same page for various devices (such as mobile and desktop versions). Multiple URLs with the same or comparable content might cause ranking signals to become diluted, potentially resulting in lower search visibility for those pages.

    Canonical URL reffers to the different urls having same content. It confuses the search engines to which url is actual and should give preference.
