Canonical URL Best Practices

Self-referencing canonicals: Every page should have a canonical tag, even if it points to itself.
Use absolute URLs: Always include the full URL with protocol (https://) in canonical tags.
Consistent protocol:Use HTTPS consistently. Don't mix HTTP and HTTPS in canonical and hreflang URLs.
Hreflang reciprocity: If page A links to page B with hreflang, page B must link back to page A.
Include x-default: Always add an x-default hreflang tag to specify the default or fallback page.
Avoid query parameters: Canonical URLs should be clean, without tracking parameters or session IDs.
