What content must be unique
The content produced by your website must be unique. But what content. You should only be worried about the uniqueness of your posts or articles. Other items of your website like the logo, the navigations, the ads images, the ads text and the sidebars are not necessarily required to be unique. However the images used to describe the articles must be unique.
How to check for duplicated content
Internet is a source of knowledge. You learn a lot of things from using internet websites. Does this mean you cannot produce any content because it will be somehow copied? No, you can produce the content based upon your understanding or you can write about your opinion about a particular thing or perhaps you can share your experience.
Since you use internet very often, it is a great chance that some of your sentences might be very similar to other websites content. In order to check this you should use some tools like mentioned in this post. Or you can know that who else is copying your content and take some action to remove that content.
