Canonical Link Does Not Make Anything

Guys I have two different link but same website.

one of them is: https://example.com/

other is: https://www.example.com/

I am doing this process in a nodejs and pug. So I have a layout file which I have added my canonical link in order to effect every page of my website.

My canonical link (in Pug syntax):

link(rel="canonical", href="https://www.example.com/")

But I have added this link to my head in my layout.pug

Why it is not redirecting to canonical url?

Solution

  • The "canonical" link type does not redirect browsers to a different URL. Its purpose is to tell search engine spiders which variant of a page to index.
