beginner in seo and virtuemart

[jjk]

I want to insert the rel canonical category of products to all products that belong to that category. Thanks

I'm not shure what exactly you want to do. VM2 makes use of the rel="canonical", but do you want to use it in a slightly different way than the VM2 default?

[Grisu74]

then virtuemart Does rel canonical automatically? I want to group products in their category with the rel canonical, see image. thanks

I use these http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=115213.msg388432#msg388432 and Open Graph Protocol http://codeboxr.com to help with opengraph and seo and as for a great sitemap tool I use Xmap
With xmap I have created menus just for the sitemap page and this makes it very easy to manage and keeps seo sef urls as one. I would aslo suggest going to google and setting your ignore parameters as they can also help google remove duplicate junk.

Please could you take a look also at my seo?

Thank you Pro.
I mean I need some advice too about seo optimization.
I'm beginner and as already told "grisu74" there are some problems with duplicate meta description and things like that. Maybe some of you experts could help me with better configuration and position.

Seems quite decent your site in SEO terms but a few things I notice:

You add:

la vita con gusto - lo shopping online economico e vegan

To every page in your website, that gives titles too long, remove the "lo shopping online economico e vegan" that is fine for the homepage. I will leave just "la vita con gusto" as you did at the end of the title in each page, others will tell you to completely remove it.

The problem I see is the page speed, the navigation could be faster, that is a bit annoying for customers.

I will also add a bit more text in the homepage and maybe an H2 there also, you have enough space but you are using too many modules and not enough text which is basicly for what they will find you.

Anyway hope that helps you a bit,

Regards

Many thanks Lindapowers!

1) Please could you tell me how to edit titles pages?
2) Really don't know how to speed up my shop. On pagespeed I got of 79/100: https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights#url=http_3A_2F_2Fwww.lavitacongusto.it&mobile=false
3) I got troubles with my home page because I was searching for a way to put text in lower part (I want showcase up) therefore I use some modules

1 - I think the easiest way would be in Joomla global configuration to change your website name to: la vita con gusto.

Then in main menu settings for your home menú item on the right open 4th tab write the browser title for the homepage and Yes. We hide the article Title so the H1 doesn't appear twice, you can do that in the first tab on the right.

Don't know if that is the correct way but that is how we do it.

2- Yeah well pagespeed always shows 79 or so, did the same for us in our old hosting were our site took double time to load. Maybe you can use jchoptimize or any other tool available: http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/core-enhancements/performance/site-performance/12088 turn Gzip on also if you are not using it. But tbh checking your website now worked pretty fast.

3- That was just a suggestion, you have quite a lot of space to add more text at the top, isn't that your main page article? at the bottom if you have a position you can add a HTML module and just write text there.

4 - Your background image bgbody.jpg 105 kb - upload it here to reduce the size (there's hardly any quality loss) http://www.jpegmini.com/main/shrink_photo you can use photoshop "save for web" but this online tool works really well.

1) Done
2) I tried jchoptimize but I can't use it because with css sprite or javascript combine my template design got all messed up, same with slide showcase (novità).
3) I will do it soon
4) Done

By the way now is bit better, 88% page speed grade and 80% yslow grade on http://gtmetrix.com/ but still slow
