• Adds canonical URL to the homepage, CMS pages, and contact us page
• Eliminates non-canonical product URLs from sitemap.xml
• Offers HTML sitemap creation
• Enables SEO pagination using rel="prev" and rel="next" meta tags
• Adds "NOINDEX,NOFOLLOW" meta robots to /customer, /checkout, and /catalogsearch pages

Feature Highlights

Manage Duplicate Content

This extension helps to avoid duplicate content problems on the homepage, CMS pages, and contact us pages.
It uses the concept of "Canonical URL" to specify the preferred version of a web page, avoiding duplicity and improving search ranking by using a rel="canonical" link in HTML.

The extension also removes non-preferred product URLs from "sitemap.xml" by setting a canonical version.

For example: the "/" version of the homepage will be designated as the preferred one, even among multiple variations such as

• /index.php
• /cms/
• /cms/index
• /cms/index/index
• /home

HTML Sitemap

The extension offers an "HTML Sitemap" to help visitors find their way around your store. This feature will add a link to a page called "/sitemap" in the footer.

An "HTML Sitemap" is a webpage that lists all the links on a website in an organized manner to help visitors navigate and improve the website's SEO by providing search engines with a clear structure.

SEO Pagination

The extension enhances paginated pages, like category pages, by adding rel="next" and rel="prev" attributes for pagination.
Just like rel="canonical" helps with duplicate content, rel="next" and rel="prev" HTML link elements help identify the relationship between different URLs in a paginated series.

Important: The "Prev/Next" recommendation from Google Webmaster Guide is no longer applicable as of Spring 2019. (Reference: https://support.google.com/webmasters/thread/2783047?hl=en)

"No Index, No Follow" Meta Tag

The extension allows you to choose which pages should have the "NOINDEX,NOFOLLOW" meta robots tag.
You can choose which pages should have the "NOINDEX,NOFOLLOW" meta robots tag.

By default, these tags will be added to the following pages:

• Customer pages (/customer/*/*)
• Cart/Checkout pages (/checkout/*/*)
• CMS 404 page (/cms/noroute/index)
• Product review page (/review/product/list)
• Search result pages (/catalogsearch/*/*)

This can be useful for pages with duplicate or low-quality content, under construction or development, sensitive information, or thin or no content.
