      Hi.

      I have an e-commerce project and they have canonical code in each and every page for it's own URL.

      (Canonical on Original Page No duplicate page)

      The url of my wesite is like this: "https://www.website.com/products/produt1"
      and the site is having canonical code like this: "

      This is occurring in each and every products as well as every pages of my website.

      Now, my question is that "is it harmful for the SEO?" Or "should I remove this tags from all pages?"

      Is that any benefit for using the canonical tag for the same URL (Original URL)?

        Hello HuptechWebseo,

        No, there is no harm in having an autoreferrential canonical tag.
        In my experience, that tag is set as a reminder and/or to be used when tracking or other parameters are used with that page.

        I dont remember having read any experiment and/or done experiment where having an autorreferential canonical tag carries benefits.

        Hope it helps.
        Best luck.
        GR.

        • Where is the rule here that forces any home page URLs that include several versions of explicit page name references, such as default.htm or index.html, to redirect to the canonical homepage?
