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.

Canonical issue like your website open with non www and www and /index.html but all have same content, so you should use 301 redirect other pages to www(.)domain(.)com

A canonical URL allows you to tell search engines that certain similar URLs are actually one and the same. Sometimes you have products or content that is accessible under multiple URLs, or even on multiple websites. Using a canonical URL (an HTML link tag with attribute rel=canonical) these can exist without harming your rankings.

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 a same page become available over the Internet. Thus, it is used to resolve issues related to content duplication.

For example, most people would consider these the same URLs:

Ex Domain
example.com/
Ex Domain
example.com/home.asp
