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.

FAQs

  • Which URL types can Clean URLs Pro simplify?

    The module can independently remove IDs from product, category, CMS page, CMS category, brand and supplier URLs. Each entity type is enabled with its own switch, so changing routing for one area does not have to affect the other parts of the shop.

  • 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.

  • How are redirects created after a friendly URL changes?

    According to the product description, changing the URL rewrite field of a product or category automatically registers a redirect rule in the database. This allows the module to create 301 redirects without manual administrator intervention, so the old URL leads to the current path.

  • Can I use different route patterns for each language?

    Yes. The configuration lets you define a custom path prefix for each entity and language version. If the field is left empty, the module safely falls back to the default PrestaShop pattern. This makes it possible to use different route naming across locales.

  • How does the module handle the routing index?

    Slug-to-ID mappings can be stored in the selected Redis or Memcached caching mechanism. If the connection to that mechanism is unavailable, the product description provides for a fallback to native SQL queries without interrupting the shop page.

  • What tools does the redirect manager provide?

    The redirect manager supports manual HTTP 301, 302 and 307 rules. The product also describes CSV import and export of rules, making it possible to manage a larger number of redirects during a migration, information-architecture redesign or environment synchronisation.
