What is Canonical URL?
The address a site declares as the main version of a page when several addresses show similar content.
In more detail
A canonical tag tells search engines which version to index and credit, which prevents duplicates competing with each other.
Example
A product reachable with and without tracking parameters declares the clean address as canonical.
