Can I perform SEO migration from PrestaShop to Magento 2?

SEO Migration: Preserving Your PrestaShop SEO URLs When Migrating to Magento 2

Are you planning a data migration from PrestaShop to Magento 2 and worried about losing your hard-earned SEO rankings? With Cart2Cart, you can seamlessly migrate your SEO URLs, ensuring a smooth transition and minimizing any negative impact on your search engine visibility.

Yes, you can migrate SEO URLs from PrestaShop to Magento 2 by selecting the "Migrate categories and products SEO URLs" additional migration option during your migration setup. This option ensures that your product and category URLs are transferred to your new Magento 2 store.

However, before performing the migration, you need to make sure the Friendly URL option is activated on your PrestaShop store. To do so, log in to your PrestaShop admin panel, go to Preferences -> SEO & URLs. Here, ensure the “Yes” box is checked. Then, you can proceed with the data migration.

How Will My PrestaShop URLs Look After Migrating to Magento 2?

Let’s assume that one of the products you’re currently selling on your PrestaShop store is named “Faded Short Sleeve T-Shirt”. It has the following URL:
http://prestashop-store.com/tshirts/1-faded-short-sleeve-t-shirt.htm

After migrating to Magento 2 (with the “Migrate SEO URLs” option selected), the structure of the “Faded Short Sleeve T-Shirt” product URL will look exactly the same:
http://magento-store.com/tshirts/1-faded-short-sleeve-t-shirt.html

Removing the .html Suffix from Magento 2 URLs After Migration

By default, product and category URLs on Magento 2 have .html suffix at the end. However, you can remove it manually via your Magento 2 Admin Panel.

To do this, log in to your Magento 2 Admin Panel and go to: Stores -> Configuration -> Catalog -> Search Engine Optimization.

Here, delete the .html suffix from the “Product URL Suffix” and “Category URL Suffix” fields and leave them empty. Save the changes.

Afterwards, it’s obligatory to clear your Cache and perform Reindex to apply the changes. Please, see detailed instructions on how to do that.
