Canonical URL Checklist

Review page and canonical URLs against six self-reported checks; the tool does not fetch pages.

URL & Checklist

Page URL

Canonical URL

There is a single canonical tag The source code does not contain more than one canonical tag. The canonical target is indexable The target URL is not marked noindex, blocked by robots, or returning a 4xx/5xx status. The canonical href format and resolved target were checked. An absolute URL is recommended. If the href is relative, review the target resolved against the page URL. Parameter and pagination decisions were reviewed separately. A target was chosen for each content variant; filters and paginated pages were not automatically canonicalized to one URL. The sitemap and internal links support the canonical URL Internal signals do not point to a different URL. Language and device variants were handled intentionally. Any canonical pointing to another variant has a clear technical reason.

Scope of this review

% kapsam

Taslak

Select only items you have verified with evidence; unchecked items remain unverified.

Example: a UTM variant and a paginated page

Page URL https://example.com/yazi/?utm_source=test, canonical https://example.com/yazi/ have different URLs. Assess whether that is appropriate by comparing the content; a difference alone is not an error. /kategori/?page=2 Do not automatically canonicalize paginated pages to page one either.

Evidence and tool limitations

This tool does not send requests to URLs. It does not automatically verify HTTP status, HTML/head content, robots, X-Robots-Tag, sitemaps, or Google's selected canonical. The indicator reflects only the share of six checks you selected. Even 100% coverage does not mean Google will choose the same URL.
