      I added a canonical tag to the home page last month, but I am still showing duplicate content for the home page.

        Hello Chris,

        The reason as to why is that your tag is added in between the javascript tags, it should be outside those, but within the section. Now google think it is part of the javascript

        <script type="text/javascript">
