URL Canonicalization Architecture & Developer Reference
Normalization vs Canonicalization
URL Normalization standardizes formatting syntax (forcing lowercase hostnames, default port stripping, query sorting).
SEO Canonicalization declares the preferred master URL to search engines using <link rel="canonical"> tags to avoid duplicate content penalties.
Preserving Functional Query Parameters
The engine strips non-essential marketing tracking tags (utm_source, fbclid, gclid) while preserving functional application parameters (id=123, category=shoes).
Duplicate parameter keys (e.g. tag=seo&tag=dev) are kept intact.
SSRF Protection on Live Inspection
Live page declared canonical tag inspection validates resolved host IP addresses, blocking requests to internal/loopback address blocks (127.0.0.1, localhost, 10.0.0.0/8, 169.254.169.254).
Credential Masking Security
User credentials embedded in URLs (e.g. user:password@host) are automatically masked (user:••••••••@host) to prevent credential leakage.
