Disabled Product Status for Search Engines
Zen Cart has a configuration setting called DISABLED_PRODUCTS_TRIGGER_HTTP200. The default behavior of the product is to not show a product info page for a disabled product; this switch allows the behavior to be changed. Users who set this value to true may require template changes to ensure customers do not actually buy disabled products. See this page for more information.
SEO URLs
The default installation of Zen Cart does not create “SEO URLs” (URLs that are self-describing). Some plugins are available to do this:
Please note that the plugin Simple SEO URLs is no longer supported.
Images and SEO
Image alt text is used by search engines and can improve your SEO. See Alt Text for more details.
