    What is a canonical issue?

    Canonical issues are most frequent when a webpage/website has many URLs that contain the same or comparable information. A lack of correct redirects frequently causes them, but they can also be created by ecommerce search criteria and syndicating or distributing material on several sites.

    A canonical issue happens when search engines find multiple URLs with the same or similar content on your website. This confuses search engines, as they can't determine which version to prioritize, leading to potential ranking problems.

    For example, your site may be accessible at both www.example.com and example.com, or with and without "/index.html." If not managed properly, search engines might treat them as separate pages, splitting traffic and SEO value.

    To fix this, use a canonical tag or set up redirects to tell search engines the preferred version. Solving canonical issues helps improve your site's SEO performance.

    A canonical issue typically refers to problems related to the canonical tag in SEO (Search Engine Optimization) and web development. The canonical tag (rel="canonical") is an HTML element that helps prevent duplicate content issues by specifying the preferred version of a webpage. Here’s a breakdown of what a canonical issue is and how to fix it:

    What is a Canonical Issue?

    Duplicate Content: When multiple URLs display the same or very similar content, search engines may struggle to decide which version to index and rank. This can dilute the ranking power of your content.
    Improper Canonical Tags: If the canonical tag is set incorrectly (e.g., pointing to the wrong URL), it may lead search engines to index the wrong page.
    Missing Canonical Tags: If a page has no canonical tag, search engines might assume that all versions of the page are equally valid, which can lead to confusion.
