        Hi there,

        Moz is just notifying you of the implications of this tag, so there is nothing to worry about if you intended for the canonical tag to be there.

        But may I ask why you have the tag on every page of the website? that seems a bit odd to me...

            Hi Alice,

            Why? It's quite common sense to me as well to have canonical urls on all pages of your site. So you'll always make sure the page itself is also the original page for the content. When this differs when you copy/ paste the content for example then you'll change the canonical url to the respective page.
