    Should I make a canonical URL on a shop page (WooCommerce Shop), based on the fact that internal pages 5, 6, 18 are ranked better than the root pages?

      Canonical (Preferred) URLs has great significance to avoid duplicate content issues. Strategy is simple. All you need to do is to set up one version of the URL as the preferred version informing the search engines that this is your preferred URL.

      You can implement this manually by placing the following code:

      [code language=”html”]
      in the <head>…</head> section of your document:
      <link rel="canonical" href="https://www.thatsjournal.com/"&gt; (Change the URL)
      [/code]

      Alternatively, you can use the above given plugin that will automatically set up a preferred URL for you.
