How to avoid duplicate content when moving content to prestashop.

[carsten]

Hi

 

I am going to move content from an OS Commerce webshop to a prestashop. But want to make sure that duplicate content is avoided while I test the new prestashop.

Will it be enough to add a robot.txt file in the root of the library with the following content

User-agent: *

Disallow: /

 

Or are there any modules handling this issue?

 

Regards, Carsten

Hello Carsten,

 

When you are on a test environment the best way to be sure that bots will not access to it is to deploy a HTTP authentification.

Only logged in user can acces to the test website and it prevents you from getting indexed in search engines.

 

On an apache server, you can do it with an .htacces and an .htpasswd.

 

Hope it helps,

Best regards,
