- Changes dynamic URLs into static SEO friendly URLs
- Generates well-structured SEO URLs in relation to catalogued content
- Verifies and validates each SEO URL
If a user/visitor makes any mistake in the SEO URL, he/she is redirected to the correct SEO URL - no HTTP 404/Not Found error or content penalty occurs. 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 a page receives a new SEO URL because of the content changes, all older SEO URLs will still be valid. The web browser or crawler will be redirected via 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/
- Supports redirects from ALL original Zen Cart URLs
E.g.: www.example.com/index.php?mainpage=index&cPath=2_5 to www.example.com/category-name-2/subcategory-name-5/
