E-commerce sites must be secure to accomplish online transactions. For making the transaction secure, one of the important elements  is making the site URL secure. Secure URL means the url has https instead of http. We need to add the security certificate on the site to make it secure. Also, we need to configure the PrestaShop for this. After making the URL secure (https), we need to redirect the old URLs to the new ones. For that, we need to add this script on htaccess to redirect all requests to secure URL. SetEnv HTTPS On <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> <IfModule mod_env.c> SetEnv HTTP_MOD_REWRITE On </IfModule> RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} #RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.gsmshop.ch [NC] #RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [L,R=301,NC]

The cannonical and hreflang tags are useful if our store is multi-language. It avoids duplication of url for each store and helps the site SEO by mentioning the url of different languages. This will indicate to the google crawlers which is the alternative link for each languages and / or geographical areas where the online store and the canonical url of the product are available, category, manufacturer list, which in many cases will be very useful. We can add the cannonical and hreflang tags on prestashop at the header.tpl template file. The template files are under theme/yourthemename folder. The following code needs to be added inside the head section: { if $ page_name == 'category' } <link rel = "canonical" href = "{$ link-> getCategoryLink ($ smarty.get.id_category, null, $ id_lang, null, null)}" />  { if $ languages | @ count > 1 } { foreach $ languages as $ lang } <link rel = "alternate" hreflang = "{$ lang.iso_

The zero-width joiner (ZWJ) is a non-printing character used in the computerized typesetting of some complex scripts such as the Arabic script or any Indic script. When placed between two characters that would otherwise not be connected, a ZWJ causes them to be printed in their connected forms. It means it doesnot take additional space. It is   &zwj; Useful when we need to output some html that don't need space. In some editors like tinymce, when we put the html that don't contain space then it will not save that html and will remove it from editor. For eg: <a href=".."></a> When we try to save the above html on tinymce editor, it will remove it from the content because it doen't have any character inside it. So, to overcome that problem we can use this special zero-width joiner character in between. It is a character that don't output extra space.  <a href="..">&zwj;</a> Happy coding!!!
