commercetools
CMS URL
Hi @PeterRoman,
we decided on the following URLs for
- CMS sunrise.commercetools.de/:ang-optional-country/:slug-for-lang-and-country
- and category sunrise.commercetools.io/language/category-slug/
The problem here, we can not differentiate between category and CMS and can not differentiate which controller should be used.
One solution would be to use a prefix e.g. "collision". Would that influence SEO or is there any approach you would suggest from the SEO side?
Sorry, this is on me, Peter had technical questions, but due to deadlines and office absence we could not meet yet. @PeterRoman let's discuss this on Tuesday next week.
Hey Trang.
- it should be commercetools.com instead of .de tld?!
- according to Michael both urls (cms and category) are clearly distinguishable: trailing slash for category slug.
- what about .html at the end of the cms url?
- To answer your question: maybe there would be a SEO effect if we add subdirectories. We want to avoid any prefixes not only for SEO but for the best user experience. For example: In the grid shops the amount of subdirectories and therefore redirects is not beneficial for SEO: coeur.de >> https://www.coeur.de/cdl/de/cms/welcome
For me this is okay:
/:languageTag/:cmsSlug.html
/:languageTag/:categorySlug/:productSlug-:sku.html
/:languageTag/:categorySlug/
Do we agree with this?
No. I simplify it here for better understanding, but the Play route would be as we currently have it:
/:languageTag/:productSlug-$sku<[^-]+>.html
As a product can have more than one category, which category should be used for a product url?
/:languageTag/:categorySlug/:productSlug-:sku.html
Also SKUs may contain a "-". Maybe not for our sunrise data, but for other projects.
About the SKUs, yes, certainly we should allow them, but for that the only solution is using one more folder level:
/:languageTag/:categorySlug/:productSlug/:sku.html
How is that concerning SEO @PeterRoman ?
Routes i'm declared so far:
/:locale/ - catalog.controller:home /:locale/search/ - catalog.controller:search /:locale/cart/add - cart.controller:add /:locale/cart/delete - cart.controller:deleteLineItem /:locale/cart/change - cart.controller:changeLineItem /:locale/cart - cart.controller:index /:locale/category - catalog.controller:search /:locale/:slug.html - catalog.controller:detail /:locale/:slug/:sku.html - catalog.controller:detail
Yes, actually I didn't see that we didn't have category with the product URL before. With the SKU it fits well for both technical and SEO reasons. Or so I hope :)
/:languageTag/:cmsSlug.html
/:languageTag/:productSlug/:sku.html
/:languageTag/:categorySlug/
ok agreed on this structure above.
@PeterRoman we could use sunrise.commercetools.com, that should not be a problem. Actually we could have both and redirect de to com. I'll check with ops.
