What is Duplicate content?

Duplicate contents can be checked using various online tools like Copyscape. These contents are harmful for your website and should be removed immediately to avoid search engine penalties.
 
Duplicate content is content that appears on the Internet in more than one place (URL). This is a problem because when there are more than one piece of identical content on the Internet, it is difficult for search engines to decide which version is more relevant to a given search query. Duplicate content is very harmful your website.
 
Duplicate content is all content that is available on multiple locations on or off your site. It often lives on a different URL and sometimes even on a different domain. Most duplicate content happens accidentally or is the result of a sub-par technical implementation. For instance, your site could be available on both www and non-www or HTTP and HTTPS — or both at the same time, the horror! Or maybe your CMS uses excessive dynamic URL parameters that confuse search engines. Even your AMP pages could count as duplicate content if not linked properly. Duplicate content is everywhere.
 
Duplicate content is content that appears on the Internet in more than one place. That "one place" is defined as a location with a unique website address (URL) - so, if the same content appears at more than one web address, you’ve got duplicate content.
