Canonical Checker

How this check works

We fetch your robots.txt and the page as SerpaBot, read the HTML the server returns, and check it. We keep the findings and a fingerprint of the page, not a copy, for 7 days.

If the canonical points elsewhere, we fetch that URL once to check its status and its own canonical.

Search outcomes vary. Rankings, indexing, traffic and inclusion in AI answers are never guaranteed.
