Declare the preferred page
Use a self-referential canonical on the preferred HTML page and canonicalize only duplicate or sufficiently similar alternatives.
Canonical clusters · batch HTTP evidence · exact URL graph
Fetch a focused group of public pages, compare their declared canonicals, and trace exact in-batch relationships. Missing tags, target errors, loops, chains, redirects, cross-origin hints, and fetch failures stay visible without inventing Google-selected canonicals.
OpenWebmaster does not create example clusters or a canonical score. Results appear only after live inspection.
Use a self-referential canonical on the preferred HTML page and canonicalize only duplicate or sufficiently similar alternatives.
Link internally to the preferred URL, list preferred URLs in sitemaps, and avoid redirects or hreflang annotations that contradict the canonical.
A declaration is a hint. Use Search Console URL Inspection when you need Google-selected canonical evidence for a property you control.
