Short Category & Product URLs for Magento 2

Shortening product page URLs

Increasing the priority of product pages is vital to make them better searched for by the potential customers. The ability to eliminate a large number of root categories helps avoid deep linking and make product pages better accessible by the search engine bots.

Additionally, such links are better represented in the search results and look more trustworthy.

For example, you get to change http://example.com/men/tops-men/jackets-men/proteus-fitness-jackshirt.html into http://example.com/jackets-men/proteus-fitness-jackshirt.html by cutting off the parent category ‘men’.

Note that any number of parent categories will be eliminated except for the one that is first before the product, i.e., ‘jackets-men’ sub-category in the example above.

Smart URLs optimization technology

In order to avoid any kind of conflicts between short URLs and the ones already existing in the system, the extension runs internal checks. They are handled before URLs shortening takes place. Thus, duplicate URLs creation is made impossible.

You’ll be able to:

• conveniently mass edit conflict URLs in a separate grid,
• rollback the shortened URLs if required.
