What Canonical URL means

Duplicates happen with tracking parameters, http and https, trailing slashes or syndicated copies. The canonical tag tells search engines which URL to index and credit. Google treats it as a strong hint and may choose differently.

HTML
<link rel="canonical" href="https://example.com/page" />
