SEO URLs

SEO URLs helps turn Russian product names into clean Latin SEO-friendly URLs and keep store links consistent. The add-on extends the standard CS-Cart SEO add-on: it defines Cyrillic transliteration rules, applies them when SEO names are created, and can bulk update product URLs with 301 redirects.

What it is for

The add-on is useful for stores where products, categories, and other entities are named in Russian while URLs should stay readable in Latin characters. It helps avoid inconsistent transliteration, keeps URL formatting predictable, and safely updates existing SEO names without losing visitors from old links.

Key features

Configurable transliteration table for lowercase and uppercase Russian letters.

Automatic name-to-SEO-name conversion through the standard CS-Cart SEO mechanism.

Bulk product SEO-name update from a dedicated admin page.

Automatic 301 redirect creation when product links are changed in bulk.

Operation within the current storefront and selected language, so the administrator controls the update scope.

Compatibility with CS-Cart Ultimate and Multi-Vendor when the standard SEO add-on is enabled.

How it works

The add-on uses the character mapping from its settings: Russian letters are replaced with Latin equivalents, extra characters are removed, and spaces or separators are converted into a clean SEO-name format. When CS-Cart generates an SEO name, the add-on applies its own conversion rule.

For existing products, the admin panel gets a separate bulk update tool. It recalculates product SEO names for the selected storefront and language, saves the new URLs, and creates redirects from old links to the new ones.
