An HTML element that tells search engines which version of a URL is the 'master' copy, preventing duplicate content issues.
Canonical tags (rel='canonical') consolidate ranking signals when the same content is accessible at multiple URLs (with/without www, HTTP/HTTPS, URL parameters). Self-referencing canonicals on every page are a best practice.
Adding canonical tags to glossary pages so Google knows /glossary/rest-api is the canonical URL, not /glossary/rest-api?category=api.
Without canonical tags, search engines may split ranking signals across duplicate URLs, weakening your ability to rank for target keywords.
