What is Canonical URL Setting?
Framer automatically sets key SEO information within the <head> tag based on the linked domain by default. When you connect a domain and publish through Framer, these tags are automatically updated to reflect the domain.
If you directly connect your domain, the Canonical URL is automatically properly reflected. However, if connected via a reverse proxy, Framer might not accurately gather the information needed to set the tags correctly. In such cases, the SEO tags default to the .framer.website domain, which may negatively impact SEO performance.
Therefore, it's essential to manually specify the Canonical URL in these situations.
How to Set Canonical URL
Go to Domain Settings
: Open your project and navigate to
Settings > Domains.Find Canonical URL Input Field
: Scroll down to locate the
Canonical URLinput field.Enter the Correct Canonical URL
If the domain is solely connected to a Framer site, enter the root domain. (e.g.,
https://domain.com)If the Framer site is part of a larger domain structure, enter the specific domain being hosted. (e.g.,
https://domain.com/blog)
Verify Settings
After republishing your site, wait a moment for the optimization to complete.
Open the page source code and check the
<link rel="canonical">tag.Ensure it points to the designated domain instead of the default domain (e.g.,
.framer.website).
Conclusion
Setting the correct Canonical URL helps avoid SEO issues and assists in storing a domain appropriate for your content in the database.
