 * I am using Yoast SEO on the newest version of WordPress. I recently migrated 
   from an apache server to iis. Initially I was having an issue with my canonical
   url showing up as a shortlink within the http header response. I fixed that by
   disabling shortlinks with your plugin. I see that within my page’s code Yoast
   SEO creates a canonical tag, but this does not show up within the initial http
   response. Will Google see the canonical tag even though it’s not within the actual
   http server response? If not, is there a way to create canonical tags for my 
   individual pages that show up in the header? I created a canonical header response
   with iis, but all that did was give EVERY page on my site the same canonical 
   link within the header response. The site I run is [http://www.healthextension.com](http://www.healthextension.com)
