Today, Natalie explains how to optimize your Prestashop urls for search engines and humans alike.

You do not need to be a SEOs to improve your Prestashop SEO.

Both search engines and people prefer websites to have consistent, easy-to-read URLs. URLs structure is the real presentation of your website. A url containing just vivid and useless information means nothing for a search engine and also users don’t like it. That's why you need to have a beautiful urls on your Prestashop site.

I’ve noticed sometimes web developers and SEOs live in two parallel universes, each with its own center of gravity. While web developers basically care about crawlability, site speed, and other technical things, SEOs are mostly focused on what constitutes their sacred grail: website rankings and ROI.
Anyway, you do not need to worry. PrestaShop by default doesn't have search engine friendly URLs enabled but enabling this feature is actually quite easy.

Enabling SEO URLs

First, look at Prestashop Default url :

giftcertificate.prestasoo.com/index.php?id_product=8&controller=product

Please remember: The more readable by human beings, the better. It should come as no surprise that the easier a URL is to read for humans, the better it is for search engines. Accessibility has always been a part of SEO, but never more so than today, when engines can leverage advanced user and usage data signals to determine what people are engaging with vs. not.

The requirement isn't that every aspect of the URL must be absolutely clean and perfect, but that at least it can be easily understood and, hopefully, compelling to those seeking its content. So, we have to fix this issue on your Prestashop site and make the url clearer!

As you know, your boutique database is the most value of your e-commerce business. So, backup your Prestashop database everyday or you will lost everything.

In case you own or run a website for a fast-growing e-commerce business, you may well be at a crossroads. Your database is supported by a single server, but your business is growing so quickly that you are getting dangerously close to a crash.

It is strongly recommended that you backup the database at regular intervals and before an upgrade.

NOTE: This Prestashop tutorial will show you how to backup your Prestashop database that include all your products, cms, manufactures and others, but DO NOT backup the files and folders such as images, theme files on the server.
If you need a complete Prestashop module to backup your database and files, i recommend you to use SOO Prestashop Cloud Backup.

2 years ago i wrote the article about Prestashop 1.6 icons. At that moment, Prestashop uses a customized version of FontAwesome as its icons framework. After 2 years, in August 2016, Prestashop 1.7 is comming soon and i found a new thing about Prestashop Icons.

Now, Prestashop Team uses "Material Icons" from Google as its build-in icons

You could easy to use these icons on your ecommerce site like this :

<i class="material-icons">face</i>

Above method is supported in most modern browsers on both desktop and mobile devices.

For browsers that do not support ligatures, fall back to specifying the icons using numeric character references like the example below:

<i class="material-icons">&#xE87C;</i>

Do not forget we have 235 Premium Prestashop Icons that works well on both Prestashop 1.6 & 1.7. You could use Prestashop Default icons and 235 Premium Prestashop Icons on creating your Prestashop Mega Menu module - Magic Menu.
