    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.

    SEO is important for every website, and an online store is no exception. Using canonical URLs can help to better inform search engines which URLs have identical, or highly similar content. And Your site’s URL is similar to the address of your home or business. When someone has your address, they can easily find you. When someone has your company’s URL, they can easily find your website or a specific page on the website.
