The canonical link tag should be placed in the HTML head section of your webpage and follows this format: <link rel="canonical" href="https://example.com/" />

How do I use the generated canonical tags?
Copy the generated canonical link tags and paste them into the <head> section of your HTML pages. Each page should have only one canonical tag pointing to its preferred URL version.
Can I process multiple URLs at once?
Yes! Enter multiple URLs separated by commas, spaces, or new lines. The tool will generate individual canonical tags for each URL, making it easy to process multiple pages at once.
What's the difference between the WWW options?
"Keep as is" preserves the original www format, "Add www" ensures all URLs include www subdomain, and "Remove www" strips www from all URLs. Choose based on your preferred canonical format.
Do I need to include http:// or https:// in my input?
No, you can enter naked domains like "example.com" and the tool will automatically add the protocol you've selected. However, including the protocol works too.
Should I use HTTP or HTTPS for canonical URLs?
HTTPS is strongly recommended for canonical URLs as it's more secure and preferred by search engines. Most modern websites should use HTTPS for better SEO and user trust.
What format is the exported TXT file?
The exported TXT file contains all generated canonical tags, one per line, ready to be copied into your HTML files. The filename includes the current date for easy organization.
