Answer 1

Getting current URL for CakePHP 3.x ?

In your layout :

request->here();
    $canonical = $this->Url->build($here, true);
?>

You will get the full URL of the current page including query string parameters.

e.g. http://website.example/controller/action?param=value

You can use it in a meta tag canonical if you need to do some SEO.
