Set Path Priority

We have a priority system in place for the URL path that is to be included in the sitemap. The URL path is picked based on the below priority system:-

  • Override canonical URL:- It is of highest priority. If this is set for any product, category or CMS page then canonical URL path will be picked in the hreflang tag.

  • Set Primary Category:- It is secondest highest priority. If override canonical URL is not set then the primary category path set is picked in the hreflang tag.

  • Default Path:- if neither override canonical URL nor Set primary Category is set then the default path of the product, category or CMS page is picked to be included in the hreflang tag.

Override Canonical URL

You can set the override canonical URL for any product, category or CMS page. The steps to setup override canonical URL is provided as below:-

Category Page

Go to Admin>Catalog>Categories and select any category. Scroll down to find the tab "Search Engine Optimization". Enter the URL path in the "Override Canonical URL" section.

Product Page

Go to Admin>Catalog>products and select any product and click edit. Scroll down to find the tab "Search Engine Optimization". Enter the URL path in the "Override Canonical URL" section.

CMS Page

Go to Admin>Content>Pages and select any page. Scroll down to find the tab "Search Engine Optimization". Enter the URL path in the "Override Canonical URL" section.
