          URL Syntax Without SEO

          URL Syntax Without SEO

          To see the standard B2C Commerce URLs without search engine optimization, make sure that the URL Rules module is disabled. If you are using the deprecated SEO Support module, make sure it's also disabled.

          URL syntax can be understood simply as a protocol (http), host name (www.sitegenesis.com), and path (/electronics/tvs/promopage.html).

          This section is based on the following URL example:

          http://www.mystore.com/on/demandware.store/​Sites-YourShopHere-Site/​EN_US/Search-Show?_ie=iso-8859-1&cgid=G

          The following table illustrates the URL generation pattern without any optimization:

          URL part Example Description Example
          Protocol Protocol http
          Host name Host or domain name that you define under Merchant Tools | Site | SEO & Discoverability | Aliases. www.mystore.com
          B2C Commerce identifier A string indicating that the site is hosted on B2C Commerce. on/demandware.store
          Instance name The instance name. The structure is: organization-site_name-Site. The organization name can be defined under Administration | Organization | Organization Profile. The site name is defined in Administration | Sites | Manage Sites | Sitename . The "Site" at the end of this is static and can only be changed if you enable search-friendly URLs. Sites-YourShopHere-Site
          Locale

          Defines the shown page's language.

          Global locales are set in Administration | Global Preferences | Locales.

          The locales used by a site are set in Merchant Tools | Site | Site Preferences | Locales.
