Every piece of content should have one canonical HTTPS address declared on the page; alternates such as Markdown or JSON versions point to it with a Link header, and parameters that do not change content should not create new URLs.

What it is

A canonical URL is the address a site declares as the preferred one among duplicates. It is expressed with <link rel="canonical" href="…"> in HTML, or with an HTTP Link: <…>; rel="canonical" header for non-HTML documents, and supported by sitemaps that list only canonical addresses and by redirects for retired addresses.

Why it matters

The same text reachable at several addresses (with and without www, HTTP and HTTPS, tracking parameters, JSON and Markdown twins) splits signals and wastes crawl budget; search engines then pick a canonical themselves, not necessarily the one you want.

How to apply

One host, HTTPS, redirecting all variants permanently with path and query preserved.
A self-referencing canonical on every indexable HTML page, absolute and HTTPS.
Non-HTML full-text twins carry a Link header to the HTML page; partial views (search results, sections) are marked noindex rather than canonicalised.
Pagination and filter pages get their own canonical only when their content is distinct and finite; otherwise noindex.

Pitfalls

Canonical pointing to a redirecting or 404 address. Different canonicals on HTTP and HTTPS versions. Canonicals to a staging host. Relying on robots.txt to hide duplicates, which prevents the canonical from being read.
