Short description
The official YouTube website Easily check the canonical tag of a page
Full summary

The official YouTube website

A lightweight and extremely easy Chrome extension that tells you the canonical source of any URL you are on. No more combing through the source code to understand if/when canonical tags point to a new destination. This extension does all the heavy lifting for you.

This extension will display one of three values. GREEN (self canonical) AMBER (Canonicalized) or RED (error)

Below are the conditions Inspect Canonical tests for, in the order it tests for them:

RED:

  1. Page contains noindex robots meta Message: "Page contains robots 'noindex' tag. Canonical tags are ignored. Click to view source"

  2. No canonical in head but there is one elsewhere Message: "Canonical tag exists but not in <head>. Click to view source"

  3. No canonical tag at all
