Faceted Noindex Plugin – Eliminate duplicate filter pages and improve your SEO on PrestaShop

Description

Faceted Noindex – Eliminate Duplicate Content from your PrestaShop Filters

Protect your SEO and avoid Google penalties due to duplicate content generated by the native faceted navigation. This module automatically adds noindex,follow on all filtered URLs (?q=) and injects a canonical link to the clean category page, correcting the Google Search Console error “Duplicate page without user-selected canonical URL”. Ideal for stores with hundreds of brand/size/color filters that consume your entire crawl budget.

Main Features

• Automatic noindex on ?q= : Pages with faceted filters (brand, size, color, price) are automatically marked as noindex,follow to prevent Google from indexing them.
• Canonical to the clean category : Each filtered URL points to the canonical URL of the category/brand/supplier, thereby strengthening the SEO authority of the main page.
• Targets category / search / manufacturer / supplier : The module only applies to relevant listing pages, not to product or CMS pages.
• Minimal configuration : Installation in 2 minutes, no complex settings. Two simple options: enable/disable noindex on ?q= and on related variations (pagination, sorting, list view).

By preventing the indexing of thousands of unnecessary pages, you redirect your crawl budget toward your important product and category pages, mechanically improving your organic visibility.
