Hi Mirza,

if the canonical tag in the source code of that page is correct (that’s what I 
assume) then the SEO impact shouldn’t be so bad at all.
Anyway it’s correct if they complain about urls with differ cases, that should 
not happen.

In the demo shop I found the Link with uppercase letters:
http://demoshop.oxid-esales.com/professional-edition/Bekleidung/Fashion/Accessoires/Kuyichi-Lederguertel-JEVER.html

including an matching canonical tag:
<link rel="canonical" href="
http://demoshop.oxid-esales.com/professional-edition/Bekleidung/Fashion/Accessoires/Kuyichi-Lederguertel-JEVER.html<view-source:http://demoshop.oxid-esales.com/professional-edition/Bekleidung/Fashion/Accessoires/Kuyichi-Lederguertel-JEVER.html>
">

If I manually change that link to lowercase:
http://demoshop.oxid-esales.com/professional-edition/bekleidung/fashion/accessoires/kuyichi-lederguertel-jever.html

It still loads the same page and it do not harm as this page also includes the
canonical tag pointing to the correct url with the uppercase letters:

<link rel="canonical" href="
http://demoshop.oxid-esales.com/professional-edition/Bekleidung/Fashion/Accessoires/Kuyichi-Lederguertel-JEVER.html<view-source:http://demoshop.oxid-esales.com/professional-edition/Bekleidung/Fashion/Accessoires/Kuyichi-Lederguertel-JEVER.html>
">

Sure this should be further improved by an 301 redirect but that is kind of 
fine-tuning.

Also you should check that all links to that page use the same case, and also 
all ingoing links (e.g. from partner sites or a price portal) should point to a 
single version of that url.

Some SEO guys also recommend to only use the lowercase version because they 
believe people prefer to type stuff in lowercase.
I am pretty sure there already solutions for such fine-tuning out there

Betreff: Re: [oxid-dev-general] SEO URL

​Let me explain you again...


So it is not my encoder that performs strtolower...it the default 
behaviour...look at line #262...the ident of the url is generated by performing 
an strtolower...and thats why regardless if you call a url all lower case or 
capitalized...you get the same ident. Which calls the same page. and in Eys of 
Google you can have multiple URLs for the same page content.

as I mentioned two URL in my previous email, two exact same url only the 
difference is lowercase and capitalized case...but getting the ident while 
decoding the url, you get the same ident...which give you same stdurl...and 
causes two URL but one page....

Thats the problem that I am facing....

Hi Mirza,

I am not sure why does your oxseodecoder perfoms strtolower and you have 
multiple urls for the same product, cause by default seo urls are capitalized 
(first uppercase letter).

From my point of view and personal experience lowercase urls are better (having 
unique lowecased urls everywhere), but you can not extend oxSeoDecoder class, 
the best way to strtolower sSeoUrl in 
https://github.com/OXID-eSales/oxideshop_ce/blob/b-dev-ce/source/core/oxseoencoder.php#L137
 but you have to hardcode here :(

Hi Guys,

I have a problem, the SEO Decoder always performs a strtolower first and then 
gets the ident of the URL. Now the problem is that, two url came to exist.

/Bekleidung/Fashion/Accessoires/Kuyichi-Lederguertel-JEVER.html
/bekleidung/fashion/accessoires/kuyichi-lederguertel-jever.html

my SEO guys are saying that this is bad and I have to setup only the one with 
lowercase and the other should have a redirect on lowercase urls.


So is there any fix to that or am I thinking or doing something wrong here??

Thanks for your quick feedback.
