Canonical links

   —   

This module allows you to generate canonical links to improve SEO of your web site.

If you use linked pages on your site you know the content of such a page is the same as the original page. This could be penalized by search engines like Google unless there is a canonical link saying what is the original url by downloading this package and following the steps below:

1) Import downloaded package to your Kentico 8.2 or newer and do not forget to check the Import files (recommended) checkbox and then the Import code files checkbox in Step 2 of the importing process.

2) Once the package is imported (it can take a while since the site needs to be recompiled), please go to the Pages application, select your root page, switch to the Master page tab and add {% AddCanonicalLink() %} macro to the head section like this:

From that moment on, all linked pages would contain a canonical link to the url of the original page:

<link rel="canonical" href="http://domain.com/original_page.aspx" />

If you want all of your pages to contain the canonical link (not just those linked ones) add true as its parameter:
{% AddCanonicalLink(true) %}.
