    If you click it, every URL through which your site can be accessed will be redirected to your preferred url. For example, if you prefer your site to appear as domain.com in Google, the www version of your site (www.domain.com) will be redirected to the non www version.

    Canonical tags basically tells the search engines bots which piece of content are the original and which one are duplicates.
