Frequently Asked Questions
When should I use a canonical tag instead of a redirect?
Use canonical tags when you need both URLs to remain accessible (e.g. parameterised URLs). Use redirects (301) when you want to permanently redirect traffic to one version.
Does every page need a canonical tag?
Best practice is to add self-referencing canonical tags to every page. This clearly signals the preferred URL and prevents accidental duplication.
