____

> Warning: This SW is unmaintained

Handles a few basic SEO related improvements such as:

• "hreflang"
• "canonical"
• "noindex"

> > For production use the latest stable release > > It has been reported to work on PS >= 1.6.0.9 but it should work on PS 1.6.x.x too and could work on PS >= 1.5.0.1 too. > If you succesfully use this module on some older version please report >

Canonical URLs

Insert the <code>&lt;meta rel=&quot;canonical&quot;&gt;</code> html tag to avoid content duplication

Query string is removed only when needed, pagination is retained and handled (an existing "prev/next" mechanism is needed, newer PS already does it)

HrefLang

Handle multilingual sites. Insert the <code>&lt;meta rel=&quot;hreflang&quot;&gt;</code> html tag, a default lang is handled too.

hreflang meta is only added on canonical pages, as explained in the following image and explained by Eoghan Henn

NoIndex

Automatically assure a <code>&lt;meta robots=&quot;noindex&quot;&gt;</code> tag is added to every PS controller that should not been indexed by search engines. This allows for big "robots.txt" cleanup .. and a better SEO

The phylosophy is "Don't use robots.txt to tell robots to do not index a page, it should be used to block them .. it's different"
