Functionality

SEO is a common acronym for Search Engine Optimization. As the name suggests, this add-on is designed to help you optimize your web store for search engines and improve its ranking.

Optimization involves replacing unattractive dynamic URLs — such as http://www.example.com/index.php?dispatch=products.view&product_id=1533 — with clean, search engine-friendly URLs like http://www.example.com/true_product_name.html (example URL only).

Such URLs not only make it easier for search engines to index your store pages, but also enhance the customer experience, as they are human-readable, more memorable, and easier to share.
