Functions

The most used plugin and important functionalities are explained below. The plugin contains lots of more functions that aren’t used very often. Feel free to contact us with your questions about this. These functionalities will make sure your old urls will be redirected in a correct way but also we will make sure that your breadcrumbs will work nicely and in a correct way.

HPOS READY!

The Perfect SEO url is ready to use with high-performance order storage!

All functionalities can be managed from the 'settings' tab in WooCommerce.

Redirect products

This function ensures that all product urls are redirected after installation of the Perfect SEO Url. This means that the productpages are automatically redirected to the new and clean urls.

The redirecting process is mandatory to make sure there will be no SEO or ranking loss. The ‘redirect product’ function is activated when installing the Perfect SEO Url plugin.

Redirect categories

This function ensures that all your product-categories are redirected after installation of the Perfect SEO Url plugin. The old category url will be redirected to the new url instantly.

The plugin adds ‘301 redirects’.

This function is activated automatically at the installation of the plugin. Want to know more about 301 redirects? See our 301 redirects FAQ.

Hierarchical slugs

One of the most loved functions of the Perfect SEO Url plugin. When this function is active all (sub)categories are included in the url. Even when the subcategories are not selected, they still will be shown in the url.

If you uncheck this function, only the last category will be shown in the url. This function is not activated by default when you install the plugin.

Multiple product urls

The unique feature of the Perfect SEO Url plugin: a product can have multiple urls. To ensure that there will be no duplicate content a canonical url is created. WooCommerce chooses the canonical url itself.

The canonical url can be managed when using the YOAST SEO plugin as well.

HPOS

Perfect SEO Url is tested and fully compatible with high performance order storage.

Product canonical

If this function is activated the category is removed from the canonical url. This means that all canonical urls will look like this:

webshop.com/skateboard

This function is used by high traffic and large webshops. This means the product can be linked to dozens of categories, and still have the same canonical url without these categories in the url. Want to know more about canonical urls? See our canonical url FAQ.

Rewrite YOAST SEO canonical

The function ensures that the Perfect SEO Url canonical overrules the YOAST SEO canonical url. Want to know more about canonical urls? See our canonical url FAQ.

Rewrite breadcrumbs

A very appreciated functionality of the Perfect SEO Url plugin. Activating this function ensures that the breadcrumb will be identical to the url where the product is being watched at the moment.

Add url suffix

A unique feature of the Perfect SEO Url plugin is that you can choose your own url suffix. For instance, you can add “.html” or “.htm” in the end of all urls. The suffix can be set for product and product categories individually. Adding a suffix can be nifty when migrating from Magento to WooCommerce.
