The free Clean URLs Lite module modifies native PrestaShop routing by removing numeric identifiers (IDs) from CMS page, CMS category, and brand (manufacturer) URLs. It enables independent activation of URL cleaning for each of these data types. The module automatically handles SEO-safe 301 redirects from old structures and includes an integrated routing conflict validation mechanism.

Technical Specifications & Key Features

  • **URL Structure Optimisation** – Elimination of IDs from addresses (e.g. converting `/content/4-about-us` to `/info/about-us`), simplifying link structures for search engine crawlers.
  • **Automatic 301 Redirects** – Traffic from legacy URLs containing IDs is permanently redirected to the new addresses, preventing 404 errors and preserving SEO authority.
  • **Routing Conflict Verification (Slug Validation)** – Scans the database for duplicate aliases upon saving configuration or accessing the module. Detecting a conflict disables the No-ID functionality until the duplicate is resolved.
  • **No Core Overrides** – Utilises standard PrestaShop 8.x/9.x hooks. It does not overwrite controller class files, ensuring system stability and clean uninstallation.
  • **Modular Configuration** – Separate toggles for CMS pages, CMS categories, and brands allow for selective deployment.

Use Cases

  • **Technical SEO Optimisation** – Shortening and structuring information and brand URLs to improve indexing efficiency.
  • **Link Structure Migration** – Safe deployment of new URLs without losing search engine results page (SERP) rankings for already indexed subpages.
  • **Internal Linking Management** – Eliminating numeric variables from URLs facilitates a consistent internal linking architecture.

Features – Back Office (Admin Panel)

No-ID Configuration Panel

Manage routing and cache from a single interface.

  • Independent activation toggles for CMS pages, CMS categories, and brands.
  • Dedicated clear cache button directly within the configuration panel.
  • Live preview of Friendly URLs status and target path patterns.

Conflict Detection System

Mechanism to prevent redirect loops and incorrect route mapping.

  • Automatic database scan on configuration save or module access.
  • Slug duplicate verification within the same entity (blocks saving).
  • System route collision detection against paths defined in the SEO & URLs section.

Diagnostic Tools

Verify correct deployment of URL changes.

  • Before/after URL mapping table presenting the structural changes.
  • Integrated PP Updater for module version tracking.

Features – Front Office

Target URL Structure

Generates clean links without numeric IDs for users and search engine crawlers:

  • **CMS Pages:** /info/{slug}
  • **CMS Categories:** /info/category/{slug}
  • **Brands/Manufacturers:** /brand/{slug}

HTTP Request Handling

Captures legacy URL requests (e.g. /content/4-terms) and automatically issues an HTTP 301 redirect to the new URL destination.

SEO Impact

  • **Improved URL Readability** – Shorter URLs provide a stronger semantic signal to search engines and improve click-through rates (CTR) in SERPs.
  • **Indexing Continuity** – Built-in 301 redirects eliminate the risk of losing established page authority (PageRank).
  • **No Duplicate Content** – The module only modifies the URL mask of existing objects, without generating new canonical addresses for the same content.

Requirements & Technical Note

**PrestaShop Engine Behaviour:** After removing IDs, the native PrestaShop controller in the Design section still allows saving two different CMS pages with an identical friendly URL (e.g. two subpages with the alias "contact"). The module does not block database insertion but will display an error and alert in the **Configuration** tab. Only one page will render under the duplicate URL (the first matched routing rule). Monitoring module alerts after adding new pages is required.

System requirements: PrestaShop 8.0–9.x, PHP 8.1–8.5, Friendly URLs enabled. Back up the shop and test on staging before production. The module adjusts URL routing only; it does not replace meta title/description optimisation. Free module.

FAQs

  • How does the module simplify CMS page and brand URLs?

    The module removes the ID from the URL structure. For example, a CMS page URL can change from /content/4-about-us to /info/about-us. The feature covers CMS pages, CMS categories and brands, depending on the enabled switches.

  • Are the modules compatible with my version of PrestaShop?

    Each module in our store contains information about compatibility with specific PrestaShop versions. Please check this information carefully before purchasing. If you are not sure, contact us.

  • What happens to the old URL that contains an ID?

    Traffic from the old URL containing the ID is permanently redirected to the new path with HTTP status 301. According to the product description, this helps limit 404 errors after a link-structure change and preserves continuity for visitors and crawlers reaching existing pages.

  • How does the module check for friendly URL conflicts?

    When the module is opened and when its configuration is saved, the database is scanned for duplicate aliases. A detected conflict disables the No-ID feature until the duplicate is removed. The mechanism also checks for collisions with system routes defined in SEO & URL.

  • Does the module modify PrestaShop core files?

    No. According to the product description, the solution uses standard PrestaShop 8.x and 9.x hooks without overriding controller class files. This enables safe uninstallation and limits interference with the platform’s standard structure.

  • What diagnostic information does the module provide?

    The panel provides an overview of Friendly URLs status and target-path patterns, as well as a table mapping URL structures before and after modification. The module also includes a button to clear the cache directly after routing rules are changed.
