SEO Filters

SEO Filters allows replacement of layered navigation links (e.q. with interchangeable parameters like size and colors) to a SEO-friendly links with more intuitive and human-readable path.

Corresponding settings subsection is located at Stores -> Configuration -> Mirasvit Extensions -> SEO Filters.

The only options, available for now, are:

• Enabled - enables and disables SEO Filters feature
• Separator goes between words in complex filter names - if attribute name consists of several words, this option will define their concatenating to single name with a delimiter. There are the following options:
  • Do not use separator - words are not separated at all.
  • Use "_" as separator - words will be separated with underline.
  • Use capital letter as separator - each word in attribute name will be capitalized.
• Use custom separator before filters - allows set custom separator.

SEO Filters Example

Consider a links, which are generated for different subcategories at Tops category page, and displayed as layered navigation sidebar.

Subcategories, displayed above, are constructed dynamically from parameters, that defined in configurable products, and have the following form. For example, let's consider a links for a top of XS size and of Orange color.

    http://www.example.com/women/tops-women.html?size=167
    http://www.example.com/women/tops-women.html?color=56

As you see, link has a dynamic part, which takes form parameter=ID, which is not optimal for web indexing.

But if we will set Marketing > Advanced SEO Suite > Settings > SEO Filters -> Enable to Yes, links will change into:

    http://www.example.com/women/tops-women/xs.html
    http://www.example.com/women/tops-women/orange.html

These links are far more SEO-friendly.
