0 / 50

Limit: 50 URLs per check.

What does this tool do?

The SERPInsight Bulk Canonical Checker analyzes up to 50 URLs simultaneously to verify their canonicalization status. It crawls each URL, follows any redirects to find the final destination, and checks for the presence of the <link rel="canonical"> tag.

Correct canonicalization is critical for preventing duplicate content issues. This tool ensures that your pages are explicitly telling Google which version of the URL is the "master" copy that should be indexed.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a "Self-Referencing" canonical?
A self-referencing canonical tag is one where the URL in the href attribute matches the page you are currently on. This is considered SEO best practice to prevent parameters or session IDs from creating duplicate content issues.
Can I check local or password-protected pages?
No. This tool runs on a public server, so it can only access publicly available URLs. It cannot crawl `localhost`, intranets, or pages behind a login screen.
Does this tool handle Cross-Domain canonicals?
Yes. If you are syndicating content and the canonical tag points to a different domain entirely, this tool will detect it and show it in the results. If that is your intent, you can ignore the "Mismatch" warning.
