1. Prevents Duplicate Content Issues

Duplicate content can confuse search engines, leading to a dilution of ranking signals. The canonical tag tells search engines which version of a page should be considered the "master" or original, helping to consolidate ranking signals.

2. Improves SEO

By consolidating duplicate pages into a single canonical version, all the SEO efforts (backlinks, social shares, etc.) are directed to the canonical URL, potentially improving its search engine ranking.
