SSU stands for Simple SEO URL.

What this mod does:

Converts ZenCart default links to SEO links

1. Converts most if not all ZC created links into User Friendly links (no more query string like ?main_page=index&cPath=blah) Several link examples:

a contact us:

site.com/contact_us (or site.com/contact_us.ext where ext is the extension you choose)

a product info page:

site.com/bracelets-c-1_2/fashion-silver-p-9

It works for any module that uses ZC's function to create links.

As of version 3.6.0+ SSU can remove all the identifiers and ids from links automatically. It is also capable of creating a “fake” category structure. An example

store.com/cars/toyota/corrola (cars and toyota are category and sub-category while corrola is the product)

Redirects old links to new SEO links

301 redirection: redirects all old-style links to seo links.

Rebuilds links if necessary

* Usually in ZC, a product_info link can contain both cPath and products_id. However, if the cPath is incorrect or is not there, ZC doesn't care at all, it still displays the page just fine. SSU will redirect the users to the correct link (by finding out the correct cPath of the product). In case of linked products, SSU also takes this into account as well.

  • If the names in the link are incorrect, SSU also automatically redirects to the correct one.
  • Several modules are known to use the wrong product type to generate product links, SSU will get the correct product type for all product links.

Multi-Language support

Starting from 3.2+, SSU provides a full blown multi-language support solution for site that uses more than 1 language, your links will now look like this:(with multi-language enabled in admin)

http://site.com/en/link_with_english_names

http://site.com/fr/link_with_french_names

You can also write your own name parser for your language and simply plug it in.

Plugin support

Starting from 3.2+, SSU provides a way to include the name of articles, news, … or any thing you can think of. Simply write a small plugin and you are good to go.

Exclusion

  • Allows store owners to exclude any page link from using seo link style
  • Allows store owners to exclude any query key from being converted to SEO link style

Link Alias

An exciting feature, it allows store owners to create “aliases” of their current links, a very good example is:

http://www.test.site/en/skirts-c-4/beige-snap-back-mini-skirt-with-suspenders-p-814

can be changed to

http://www.test.site/en/october-promotion

Performance

This module was designed with performance in mind, and it uses various caching techniques to reduce the server load as much as possible.

Misc

  • Allows removing short words from category/product names
  • Allows limiting the max length of category/product names
