Alcately Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Hello all, Since my upgrade to 1.5, I have a significant visitor drop and sales drop. I am trying to figure out all possible options that might have caused this issue. I already reviewed the speed aspect and was able to solve this. Running thru google analytics shows me that I have much less visitors arriving to my site via google. I therefor connect this maybe with my sitemap as I got nowhere a message that the site would have received a penalty or a block. Looking at the <loc> tag in the sitemap, the location of my products is always shown as: http://www.store.com/shop/en/index.php?id_product=10&controller=product&id_lang=1 The url to the images is however nicely: http://www.store.com/shop/68/this-is-a-product.jpg Might this be a reason for scoring less in google and if so, how can i make the <loc> tag look nicer? The re-write rules are on, the friendly url should be active, the .htaccess file is updated... I would love to hear your advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alcately Posted October 23, 2012 Author Share Posted October 23, 2012 Great! .. I am not alone in this Would be lovely if others could also share their experience in this and maybe also give an indication how to resolve it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pepozzo Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 The problem is that this forum is full of request like this. If you search on google you can find a lot of discussion and also posting into the bug tracker couldn't help. So, i know that there are a lot of minor bugs, but, for example in 1.5.1.0, there are a lot of big issues (empty cart, Gsitemap doesn't work well, cart without total amout in back-end, product quantity error when try to check out etc) that could have the max priority, but we don't know (or i don't know) if the team is working on them. I hope 1.5.2 will fix these issues, but at the moment i'm a bit disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

todaytonight Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 I am lucky. I was thinking to upgrade my shop to 1.5.x and after reading this post, I decide to stay. I can't see any benefit from the upgrading but only troubles! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
