A **Canonical Tag**, often appearing as “, is a crucial HTML element that helps search engines understand the preferred version of a webpage. When multiple URLs lead to very similar or identical content—for instance, `example.com/product` and `example.com/product?color=red`—the canonical tag tells search engines like **Google** which URL is the **canonical URL**, the master copy. This prevents **duplicate content** issues, consolidating ranking signals and ensuring the most authoritative version of a page is indexed and displayed in search results. Understanding and implementing canonical tags correctly is vital for good **SEO**.
