Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Even though Joomla 5.2 has some new settings to eliminate duplicate pages, there are still #44263 duplicate pages in the CMS.
I suggest reducing the number of duplicate pages in @joomla.

Describe the solution you'd like

New options for the System - SEF plugin:

  1. Redirect pages with ID (articles, categories) to the version of pages without ID
  2. Redirect from the version of a page with www to the version of a page without www (or vice versa)
  3. Canonical links for pagination pages (for pages like ?start=10)

What Joomla has already done to reduce duplicate pages:

  • Search Engine Friendly URLs
  • Use URL Rewriting
  • Force HTTPS
  • Strict handling of index.php
  • Trailing slash for URLs
  • Strict Routing
  • WWW redirect
  • IDs redirect
  • Canonical links

Additional context

This will help eliminate almost all duplicate pages for search engines.
The fewer duplicate pages processed by search robots like @google, @google-gemini, @microsoft, @openai, etc, the less energy will be released by data processing centers, the less effect will be on the environment and climate change.

  1. Redirect from the version of a page with www to the version of a page without www

What if I want it vice versa, redirect non www to www?

yes, that's what I meant.
there should be an option for WWW:

  • don't use redirect
  • redirect to WWW
  • redirect to no WWW
