NEW FEATURE FROM VERSION 2.3.1

As of version 2.3.1, this plugin allows you to define SEO redirects using Regular Expressions.

A Regular Expression (or Regex) is a group of characters used to find a pattern within a piece of text.
In the context of redirects, a simple URL match will correspond to exactly one URL. A regex URL can match many URLs.
In addition to matching many URLs, a regular expression can extract information from the source URL and copy it into the destination URL.

An example for better understanding:

A redirect with the source URL /my-url will only ever match requests for /my-url.
A redirect with the source URL /meine-url/.* will match requests for:
/meine-url/a
/my-url/b
And so on.

The important part of /my-url/.* is .*. This is the regular expression part of the URL and is equivalent to saying "take /my-url/ followed by any string".
Although this is very useful for a lot of redirects, this feature is more for advanced users, as creating these regular expressions requires further knowledge. But you don't have to use regular expressions for the redirects, you can still use redirects with an exact match of the URL. If both variants are stored for a URL, exact matches for a redirect are always searched for first. If no exact match is found, regular expressions are checked in the second step.

A guide to the regular expressions including a link to a manual and a cheat sheet can be found in the Shopware admin area in the redirects.

Applications:

Website relaunch - previous pages are redirected to the new pages (permanent redirection). Thereby no ranking losses occur.

Changes in the product range - a well ranking category page has to be dissolved due to a product change. With a 301 redirection you can refer to the new category page.

Short-term advertising - a well ranking category page can temporarily redirect to a special advertising page to present the offer to more customers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why exactly do you need redirects? Forwarding URLs is a cornerstone of search engine optimization. Especially during a relaunch (complete rebuilding of the shop) it is important not to lose the hard-won ranking. To avoid this, via a redirect Google is informed that information continues to exist and is now stored under a new URL. The PageRank is thus retained and passed on to the new page. There are two types of forwarding: A 301 (Moved Permanently) redirection indicates that the information is constantly to be found at a new address. A 302 (Moved Temporarily) redirection indicates that the landing page has been changed temporarily. However, the original URL should not be replaced. This method can be used e.g. for advertising campaigns. Thus, a well ranked page can refer to a special promotion page for a short time without losing value itself.
How can I install the plugin? Using the new Shopware 6 - Plugin Manager (Settings > System > Plugins) the installation is easy as pie. The ZIP file is simply uploaded and can be installed and activated immediately.
The plugin doesn't work? In the unlikely event of the plugin now working, we recommend to contact us so we can resolve any issues. Usually, only minor issues come up and can be dealt with quickly.
What do I have to consider when entering the "Old URL" and the "Forward Destination"? Nothing. You can enter the URL completely including the protocol presented (http:// or https://) or omitting the protocol. The simplest solution is to copy and paste the URL from the browser's address bar.
Do I have to enter each URL individually, or is there a function for multiple URLs? Unfortunately not yet. However, as soon as Shopware 6 has a suitable import-export feature, such a function will be offered free of charge as an update. Complete Excel lists can then be uploaded in bulk, when the feature is released.
