How to use Canonical checker
- Paste the relevant HTML.
- Optionally enter the expected canonical URL.
- Resolve any duplicate or contradictory signals in the source, sitemap and internal links.
02 / interpret the output
What the result means
The checker reports the canonical links present in the pasted document and compares the first one to the expected URL when supplied.
Important considerations
- It does not fetch the page or inspect HTTP headers, redirects or server configuration.
- A canonical hint is not a command; search engines evaluate the wider page and site signals.
- Relative URLs are reported for review rather than silently rewritten.
Worked example
Paste a page head containing one absolute self-referencing canonical and compare it with the page URL.
