Learn how to configure a custom canonical URL to ensure search engines index the correct version of your site.
A canonical URL tells search engines which version of your content should be treated as the primary one. This is especially important when your site can be accessed through multiple domains or URL paths.
Framer automatically generates key SEO tags in your site's <head> based on your connected domain. When you connect and publish a domain through Framer, these tags are updated to reflect that domain.
If your site is served through a reverse proxy and the domain is not directly connected to your Framer project, Framer cannot determine the correct domain automatically. In this case, SEO tags may default to your project's .framer.website domain, which can affect how search engines index your content.
The Canonical URL setting allows you to manually specify the primary URL that search engines should use.
Canonical URLs help search engines understand which version of your content should be indexed and displayed in search results. This can help prevent duplicate content issues and ensure that SEO signals are attributed to the correct domain.

FAQ
Do I need to configure a canonical URL if my domain is connected directly to Framer?
In most cases, no. Framer automatically generates the correct canonical tags when your domain is connected and managed through Framer.
When should I use a custom canonical URL?
Use a custom canonical URL when your site is served through a reverse proxy or when Framer cannot automatically determine the public domain of your content.
Can I use a path instead of a root domain?
Yes. If your Framer site is hosted within a subdirectory of a larger website, enter the full path, such as https://example.com/blog.
