How to Remove SID query from Magento URLs

/in , , /by

We will apply the site redirects technique for this issue . While working on the SEO someone can place a wrong link to some forum or blog. We don’t want those links to lead to improper URL and we don’t want SIDs to appear to those visitors. Most important: We don’t want that search engines index the URLs with SIDs.

The solution is simple.

For magento1 you will have to go to root directory .htacess file and add the below code and in Magento2 you should write the code in the pub directory .htaccess file.

RewriteEngine on
If you want to have www part:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.yourdomain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.yourdomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
If you don’t want to have www part:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^yourdomain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://yourdomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]

How to Remove SID (SESSION_ID) from URL in Magento 2

/in /by

First of all we have know about SID (SESSION_ID) in magento2:

The SID is a “session ID”. Magento uses this to track a user’s activity within the same Magento installation. Normally, Magento powers one website and one store from one installation (database).

Magento could power multiple websites with multiple stores from one installation though. The SID allows users to stay logged in while navigating across these websites/stores.

I think if you have the function enabled, the SID is sent when accessing catalog URLs so Magento can update the session with the user’s location/state for the current website/store.

If you’re not running a multi-website or multi-store environment, it’s safe to disable the SID on the frontend.

 

Below is the settings you need to change

Go to the Store > Configuration > General > Web > Session Validation Settings > Use SID on Storefront and set its value to No
