Create a correct rel canonical tag that tells search engines which version of a page is the real one. When the same content is reachable through several URLs, for example with and without a trailing slash, with tracking parameters, or on http and https, search engines can treat them as duplicates and split your ranking signals.

Paste your chosen canonical URL and this tool builds the exact link element to drop into the head of every duplicate version, including the page itself as a self referencing canonical, which is the recommended practice. The URL is safely escaped so special characters do not break the markup. Everything is generated locally in your browser, so your site structure is never sent anywhere.
