Why Using This?
Canonical URLs solves the content duplication (multiple urls representing the same post/page) problem. Using canonical urls prevents search engines lowering your site’s ranking due to content duplication.
How it works?
It’s simply an HTML <link>
tag at the <head>
section with attribute points to the right or “canonical” url.

Usually one uses a SEO plugin to generate this tag automatically.
