Canonical URL in Website Headers

auto_awesome What this module does

AI-generated from the code · Odoo 12.0

Lets you set a canonical domain for your website so search engines see one preferred address per page. Odoo then adds the matching canonical link (and prev/next links for paginated pages) in the page header.

This module helps with search engine optimisation (SEO) by telling search engines which address is the official one for each page of your website.

You can enter a "Canonical domain" in two places: on the website record itself (next to the existing domain field) and in the Website settings screen. The value must include the protocol, for example https://mydomain.com; if you type something without http:// or https://, Odoo refuses to save and shows a validation error.

When a page is displayed, Odoo builds the canonical address automatically. It uses the canonical domain you entered; if that is empty it falls back to the website's own domain, and if that is also empty it uses the base web address configured in the system. The page path is added, including the language prefix when the visitor is not on the website's default language, and the home page is normalised to the site root.

The module also adds a canonical link tag in the page header, plus previous and next links when a page uses a pager with several pages, so search engines can follow the sequence correctly.

A demo page and menu item are included for testing. The module touches the website and res.config.settings models and the website layout template.
