Setting the correct canonical URL on your Webflow site is essential for search engine optimization (SEO) purposes, as it helps search engines identify the preferred version of a webpage and avoid duplicate content issues.
To set the canonical URL on your Webflow site, follow these steps:
1. Log in to your Webflow account and navigate to the Designer.
2. Select the page you want to set the canonical URL for by clicking on it in the Pages panel.
3. In the Settings tab of the right sidebar, scroll down to the SEO section.
4. Locate the Canonical URL field and enter the URL of the original domain where your site is hosted. Ensure you enter the full URL, including "https://" or "http://".
For example, if your original domain is "https://www.example.com," enter it in the Canonical URL field.
5. Click outside the field or press Enter to save the changes.
By setting the canonical URL correctly, you are indicating to search engines that this is the preferred version of the page and that any duplicate pages or alternative URLs should be consolidated and attributed to the canonical URL you specified.
It's essential to ensure that the canonical URL you set on your Webflow site matches the actual domain where your site is hosted. This helps prevent any potential confusion or conflicts with search engines.
Additionally, if you have multiple pages on your site that require canonical URLs, repeat the above steps for each page, setting the appropriate canonical URL as needed.
Remember to publish your site for the changes to take effect, and double-check the source code of your published site to verify that the canonical URL has been correctly implemented.
