How TheSiteFuse checks "Canonical tag"

The canonical tag tells Google: "This page is the official version". If the same page is accessible at multiple URLs (with www, without, with parameters…), the canonical prevents Google from treating them as duplicate content.

Real-world impact of "Canonical tag"

Duplicate content dilutes SEO. Without canonical, Google may split "SEO juice" between multiple versions of the same page or penalise for duplication. It's a common and often overlooked issue.
