What is Canonical URL?
How to Canonicalize your URLs and prevent duplicate content issues?
In this video we’ll run through what a Canonical URL with RankMath in WordPress is, how it works and how it prevents you from loosing good Google juice when you re-post content on your website, or you allow others to repost your content.
