What this solution does
The BX365 module installs canonical links (rel="canonical") for all website pages. This allows you to indicate to search engines which page among several similar ones should be considered the main one, helping to avoid content duplication in the index.
The link is implemented in two ways: via a link tag in the page HTML code or via the HTTP Link header.
A typical situation requiring this setup involves multiple full or partial duplicates on the site with nearly identical content that match the same query but differ in URL parameters. Examples include pagination, sorting, or filter pages. Without correct configuration, search algorithms may incorrectly identify the target page.
Available module settings:
- Disable module. Completely stops the module functionality.
- Do not add the rel="canonical" attribute to the page HTML code. In this case, the canonical link will be added only to the HTTP header.
BX365: Set Canonical Page URL
The module does not add the rel="canonical" attribute to the page HTTP header. This allows managing canonical links at the content level rather than via headers.
Configuring canonical links is recommended by search engines Yandex and Google to improve site indexing.
Module operation specifics:
The module does not set canonical links for pages located in the /bitrix/ and /upload/ folders, nor for pages returning a 404 error.
