Common Mistakes to Avoid

⚠️

Canonical pointing to non-existent page

Solution: Always verify the canonical URL exists and returns 200. Pointing to 404 pages wastes crawl budget.

⚠️

Using relative URLs

Solution: Always use absolute URLs in canonical tags. Relative URLs can cause issues with different base URLs.

⚠️

Canonical chains

Solution: A → B → C is bad. Canonical should point directly to the final URL, not through intermediates.
