Usage

This module adds a simple canonical tag to your pages to allow for the specification of the default domain or a specific tag per Page. The canonical tag allows you to signal to search engines like Google which is the authoritative version of the page to help reduce duplicate content issues caused by non-www versions, pages with different protocols, etc.
