How to Remove Product and Category IDs from PrestaShop URLs

Clean URL structure is one of the most crucial step of any URL Optimization SEO strategy. This is the reason it is being highly recommended by a number of SEO gurus. It is also important as it enables your users to clearly understand the subject matter of the page. By default, you can remove most of the special characters from your Prestashop store by enabling a clean URL option from the backend but it still left behind the auto-generated ID which is part of almost every Prestashop URL. Which in turn can affect your search engine ranking and overall traffic.
