It groups all web pages with nearly identical content into a so-called canonical set and selects one representative from among them to appear in search results.

The canonical set, the main canonical malaysia mobile phone number data page and all its versions, can be defined in the head of the html page using the element

with the rel="canonical" attribute.

Such an entry in the header of an HTML page is information for the search engine that it is a web page from the canonical set.
The href parameter also defines exactly which page from the canonical set is the most important. It is a representative of the canonical set (also simply referred to as the "canonical page").
The search engine always presents the user with only one page from the canonical set, the one defined in the rel="canonical" attribute with the href parameter. This page also takes over the ranking from the other canonical pages (rank is added).

It doesn't have to be just pages with the same domain, canonicalization works across domains. However, the search engine only takes the rel="canonical" tag into account if the content of the page containing this tag and the page to which the tag links are completely or partially identical.

The goal of canonicalization is to clarify natural duplicate pages and define their structure.

Initially, the tag was registered only by the Google search engine, but in 2011, the Czech search engine Seznam also started to take it into account and today it works with it without any problems. Despite this, many websites still do not use canonical URLs or place the rel="canonical" tag incorrectly.
