How to get short links (categories and products)

How to get short links (categories and products)

Hi gays!

How to change rules for creating links for categories and for products. 

 

For example: 

Now I have links

 

/index.php/catalog/product/view/id/57150/s/swingline-mini-fashion-staplers-swi87871/category/1014/ 

 

/index.php/catalog/category/view/s/staplers-punches/id/1014/

 

but I want ...like this

/product/swingline-mini-fashion-staplers-swi87871/ 

/category/staplers-punches/

Hi @ilabaplexs8f7a,

 

Greetings!

 

The default Magento does not provide the facility to short the category and product URL.

But if it is mandatory for your store then, you can use a third-party extension.

There are a few extensions available in the market that can help you to shorten the category and product URL as you want. 

 

Hope this will help you.

If not, feel free to contact us.

Thanks for your answer.

I try to understand it is normal if I have more than 1M URL Rewrites on 200K Goods

Magento default creates links 

"catalog/product/view/id/195111/category/2"

then change this link through URL Rewrites

and created something like this 

"/retractable-pocket-cutters-6-in-snap-off-steel-blade-plastic-black-yellow-ors68010143p"

 

I don't work with Magento previously before. It is normal 1M URL rewrites?

Why does magenta create the wrong link by default?

Like this "catalog/product/view/id/195111/category/2"

Hi @ilabaplexs8f7a,

Greetings!

It doesn't matter if you have 1M or more than that. If you integrate the extension you will get the results according to your need. 

The extension will help you in shorting the URL.
