System - Link Canonical

Optimize Joomla SEO with the System - Link Canonical plugin. This free tool automatically adds canonical URLs, next/prev links, and HTTP headers to prevent duplicate content penalties, supporting core components (articles, contacts, tags) and third-party ones like K2 or Akeeba Release System. Features include custom host schemes, optional redirects, trailing slash fixes, and extensible scripting for other extensions. Ideal for blogs, e-commerce, or paginated sites.

System - Link Canonical 5.3.5 Stable

Released on: Wednesday, 07 January 2026 18:15

Sarah Eagle (https://saraheagle.co.uk) clued me in to a bug in the caching mechanism I'm using. Changing the value of Canonical Host after a page has been cached had no effect on that page.

This update introduces a fixed caching mechanism and upon install automatically expires all existing cache for this plugin. Just installing it fixes the issue for previously cached pages.

Thanks for the bug report Sarah!
