Href lang tags

Google does not recognize pages (from different domains) in different languages as the same page. To help with this, hreflang tags was invented.

CCV Shop supports the hreflang tags for modular pages and all pages where the SEO alias can be set.

For Multishop, only the product page is supported. It is possible to turn this option on or off.

 

 

Implementation

If you have configured a different language per domain, the tags will automatically be shown underwater in the <head> section of the code. You do not have to take any actions.

Example:

For Multishops it is possible to turn this option on or off, you can find this setting under:
Starting point > My multishop system > Settings > Layout > Product and Category layout

By default this setting is turned off.

 

Link structure

  • If a language (with different domain) is available in current shop, that will be used, only after that a potential Multishop variant.
  • If there is a SEO alias available it will be used, otherwise the standard version will be used.

 

Exceptions

  • For Multishops only the product pages are supported.
  • Custom languages are not supported at this time, because we can’t guarantee that the custom language is the said language.
  • Product bundles are not supported, because there also is no option to enter a SEO alias.
