Canonical URLs relate to the concept of selecting the best URL for the web pages that the
visitors want to see. Also, known as canonical tags, these URLs help in content syndication when
multiple versions of the same page become available over the Internet. Thus, it is used to resolve
issues related to content duplication.

A canonical issue arises when 301 redirects are not properly in place. This means that your website can be accessed by search engines from several different URLs. This means that search engines can then potentially index your site under different URLs, its show difference site on google

Canonical Urls are on the page and define which url the page should be indexed as. This is used when you have one or more url parameters that might resolve that same content.

It's a good idea to pick one of those URLs as your preferred (canonical) destination, and use 301 redirects to send traffic from the other URLs to your preferred URL. A server-side 301 redirect is the best way to ensure that users and search engines are directed to the correct page.

Canonicalization is the process of picking the best URL when there are multiple choices available. Google will attempt to pick the best URL that they feel is the authority for that page.The easiest way to avoid this is to let the Search engines and the users know which is your "preferred URL" a.k.a canonical URL.

Canonical URL is used when you want visitors to see your website's home page having searched by the users like,
1) www.abc.com OR
2) abc.com OR
3) http://www.abc.com etc.....

hello..From an SEO point of view here is the definition of a canonical URL: Canonical URL: the search engine friendly URL that you want the search engines to treat as authoritative. In other words, a canonical URL is the URL that you want visitors to see. Quite often canonical URLs were used to describe the homepage.

Hi

A valid URL tells you the search engine that some similar URLs are actually another one. Sometimes you have the product or content available on many URLs or on many websites. Using a canonical URL (an HTML link tag with attribute rel = canonical) may be present without damaging your ranking

Hope this helps you.

Thanks for your useful informative post

If you have a single page accessible by multiple URLs, or different pages with similar content (for example, a page with both a mobile and a desktop version), you should explicitly tell Google which URL is authoritative (canonical) for that page. If you do not do this explicitly, Google will make the choice for you, or might consider them both of equal weight, which might lead to unwanted behavior, as explained in the next section.

Note that although we recommend that you specify a canonical page for duplicate URLs or versions, Google might algorithmically choose a different page as canonical for various reasons such as performance or content.
