  • Clean URLs Pro removes numerical IDs from product, category, CMS category, CMS page, brand, and supplier URLs — without core modifications and with zero overrides. Simply activate it for the required entity type, save the configuration, and clear the cache.

    Legacy links containing IDs (e.g. /3-electronics) are automatically redirected to the new, clean URL via an HTTP 301 redirect, fully preserving SEO PageRank and all external backlinks.

    Key Benefits

    • Clean URLs without IDs – products, categories, brands, suppliers, and CMS pages obtain shorter, cleaner routing paths (e.g. /electronics/laptop.html instead of /3-electronics/12-laptop.html), significantly improving CTR and URL aesthetics.
    • Zero overrides, zero core edits – the module operates exclusively via native PrestaShop hooks (moduleRoutes, actionDispatcherBefore, etc.), completely eliminating conflicts during platform core upgrades.
    • Automated 301 redirect engine – changing a product or category slug instantly triggers an automated redirect rule, ensuring link equity and external backlinks are maintained without manual DB intervention.
    • High performance under heavy traffic – an external routing index powered by Redis or Memcached memory storage minimises SQL query overhead on front-end requests.
    • Safe deployment workflow – no routing changes are applied automatically upon installation; each entity type is activated via an independent toggle, and the built-in conflict validator blocks saves if duplicate slugs are detected.

    The Result – URL Schema Comparison

    Entity Type Legacy Schema (with ID) Clean Schema (No-ID)
    Product /3-category/product.html /category/product.html
    Category /3-electronics /electronics
    CMS Page /content/4-about-us /info/about-us
    CMS Category /content/category/1-home /info/category/home
    Brand /brand/3-acme /brand/acme
    Supplier /supplier/2-acme /supplier/acme

    Use Cases & Architecture

    • Platform migrations & URL refactoring – seamless transition from legacy ID-based URLs to clean structures, featuring global HTTP 301 handling for the entire catalog tree.
    • Multilingual setups – independent URL schema definitions per language (e.g. info/{rewrite} for EN and informacje/{rewrite} for PL).
    • Multistore environments – full support for independent No-ID toggles and URL route schemas configured per shop instance or shop group.
    • High-concurrency stores – native Redis/Memcached integration for route caching to drastically reduce DB read load.
    • SEO auditing & troubleshooting – built-in 404 error logger with a hit counter and an explicit one-click 301 mapping tool accelerates index health management.

    Features – Back Office Panel

    Per-entity No-ID toggles

    Independent routing control for products, categories, CMS pages, CMS categories, brands, and suppliers — isolating configuration changes to specific entities.

    URL conflict validator

    Real-time duplicate slug and path collision scanning upon loading the Routing tab and during execution; saves are hard-blocked if an ambiguous route risk is detected.

    Multilingual route schemas

    Define custom URL path prefixes per entity and language locale; leaving the input blank safely falls back to the native PrestaShop defaults.

    Route indexing – Redis / Memcached / SQL

    Slug-to-ID key-value mappings are stored in the designated cache engine; if the connection drops, the module smoothly executes an automated fallback to SQL queries without service interruption.

    Redirect manager

    Manual management of 301/302/307 routing rules combined with automated triggers on slug modification — any friendly URL update instantly hooks a redirect record.

    CSV redirect import / export

    Bulk data processing of redirect tables via CSV files — designed for major migrations, information architecture overhauls, or syncs between staging and production.

    404 error logger

    Aggregated table of unresolved request paths including an exact hit counter; allows immediate 301 mapping directly from the log entry interface.

    Global SEO normalisation

    Enforce lowercase URLs and strict trailing slash policies (forced stripping or appending) globally, independent of individual No-ID entity states.

    Routing lookup & diagnostics

    Dedicated status dashboard exposing the current PS_ROUTE_* state per entity (Disabled / Active / Save Required) paired with an instant cache-flush trigger.

    Multistore context isolation

    No-ID switches and PS_ROUTE_* parameters are scoped to the selected multistore context. The active context is explicitly exposed above the form to prevent accidental global overrides.

    PP Updater

    Integrated deployment module to check, validate, and pull core module updates directly from the Back Office environment.

    SEO & Performance Impact

    • Streamined URL structures accelerate crawl budget efficiency — search engine spiders parse and index the catalog faster due to the elimination of redundant path tokens.
    • Clean, semantic URLs significantly boost CTR in organic SERPs and increase user trust at the pre-click stage.
    • Automated 301 triggers on rewrite changes preserve historical link juice and eliminate the risk of 404 spikes during catalog updates.
    • Forced lowercase transformations and explicit trailing slash handling enforce strict URL canonicalisation, preventing duplicate content penalties in search indexes.
    • The 404 monitoring log exposes high-traffic broken paths, enabling rapid hotfixes without relying on third-party analytics software or heavy log parsers.

    Deployment Notes

    Critical: Take a full database and filesystem snapshot prior to installation and No-ID initialization. Ensure that Friendly URLs are globally compiled in the engine (Configure > Shop Parameters > Traffic & SEO). Compatibility targets: PrestaShop 8.1 – 9.x and PHP 8.1 – 8.5. Review the Routing diagnostics tab for existing slug duplicates before toggling production states — saving with an active collision will be rejected by the validation engine.
