About Canonical URL Generator
What this tool does
Canonical URL Generator builds the canonical link tag that tells search engines which version of a page is the primary one.
How to use it
- Enter your base URL and the page path.
- Generate the canonical link tag.
- Paste it into the page's <head>.
How it works
Your base URL and path are combined into a normalised absolute URL and wrapped in a <link rel="canonical"> tag.
Important considerations
- The canonical is a strong hint, not an absolute command — keep it consistent with your sitemap and internal links.
