[Primordial Performance]

Intel,

Maybe this has been asked already... but is this mod also optimize the x-cart static pages?

And how is the interface for changing url's, meta tags, titles, ect? Is this all stuff that can be done within x-cart admin?

Hi Eric, it handles Categories, Products, Manufacturers, Static Pages, and arbitrary urls (i.e. - you can rewrite help.php?section=faq, for example)

Only URLs are editable right now, and are handled on the add/modify pages in X-Cart admin for Categories, Products, etc.

A central interface will be complete soon, within the X-Cart administration, that will allow you to address all urls at once. So there will be 2 routes to modifying XCSEO-related settings per entry.

Once I get the new update ready, I'll post screenshots

Cheers

Hello Jon,

I have been reading a little lately about SEO and found that your module seems not to deteriorate response time AND add real value by setting up legible URL's.
So. I am interested. A few question though:

1) Is there any known incompatibility between XCSEO pro and current commercial Mods and Addons (for instance those that you can find in my signature) ?

2) I have Firetank's Feed Manager installed. I am pretty unable to manage it other than by updating the feed once a week (don't understand the manual - must say that I am french and not that much technical)...BUT...Google seems to really appreciate it (got tons of pages indexed). How will Feed Manager work with XCSEO Pro ?

3) Is there any incompatibility issues between XCSEO "free" and Feed Manager or commercially available mods (see point 1) ?

4) What is the usual time schedule for a XCSEO Pro implementation if I choose to have the install performed by you ?

5) What will happen regarding Google (and others...) page indexing once XCSEO (pro or not) is installed ??? What necessary actions are (or are not) to be taken once installed ? What would the "old" URL's become ? Will it be still possible to access them ?

Sorry for the "rookie" questions, I will be more than happy to have your precious answers,

Keep up the good work,

Philippe

Hi Philippe, I got your email as well, I'll respond here

1. None that have been reported to me. A customer of mine that migrated to XCSEO Pro from CDSEO Pro, reported that he changed mods due to compatibility issues with Featured Products from Firetank (as well as an admin login issue), yet he had no issues with XCSEO Pro. Additionally, Firetank has added support for XCSEO products in their own products (specifically for their feed products)

2. You'll need an update to Feed Manager for XCSEO compatibility, should function fine. Make sure Firetank knows you need the update for XCSEO Pro.

3. None that have been reported, and again, you'll need an update to Feed Manager

4. Typically 1 day

5. No action should be required on your part except to regenerate your sitemap.xml file. Old urls get rewritten & redirected automatically. Google will start showing your new URLs, and you may have a flux period of a couple of weeks before your urls stabilize back out with pagerank transferred. Typically you'll start seeing higher ranks within a couple of weeks.

Hope that answers your questions!

Cheers

Not sure if this is a stupid question, but when you have a multi language store; will multi language url's be generated when a specific language is chosen by a customer and if so, can they be 'seen' by Google as well somehow?

Hey Jon,
I'm currently using XCSEO basic but am thinking of upgrading. Have you added the ability to edit title & meta tags yet? Also, once this has been added, will you be able to populate these fields via a spreadsheet import?

Cheers,

One more question (for now). How will (or does) XCSEO deal with the duplication issue raised in this post:
