Features - Zen Cart SEO

• Changes dynamic URLs to static SEO friendly URLs
• Generates well-structured SEO URLs in relation to catalogued content
• Verifies and validates each SEO URL

  If the user/visitor makes any mistake in the SEO URL, he is redirected to the correct SEO URL - no HTTP 404/Not Found error or content penalty occur. E.g.:
  www.example.com/your-wrong-product-name-1.html to www.example.com/your-product-name-1.html

• Supports safe changes of SEO URLs

  If any page receives a new SEO URL due to changes in the content, all older SEO URLs will still work and the web browser or crawler will be redirected through HTTP 301 Moved Permanently to the new SEO URL. E.g.:
  www.example.com/your-category-name-1/ to www.example.com/your-new-category-name-1/
