Canonical URLs: Prevent Duplicate Content Issues

A canonical link tells search engines which URL is the official version of a page, preventing duplicate content penalties.

Why This Matters

Without canonicals, search engines may split ranking signals across duplicate URLs (www vs non-www, HTTP vs HTTPS, trailing slash variants).

How to Fix

Add <link rel="canonical" href="https://yourdomain.com/page"> to every page.
