PrestaaShop how to fix Search Console Issues

Here are practical, PrestaShop-specific steps to fix common Google Search Console issues. I will keep everything simple and directly applicable to PrestaShop sites.


1. Fix “Indexed, though blocked by robots.txt”

Cause

Your robots.txt is blocking URLs that Google still found.

Fix

  1. Go to your PrestaShop back office.
  2. Shop Parameters → Traffic & SEO
  3. Click Generate robots.txt
  4. Save.

If custom rules needed:

Allow important pages:

Allow: /modules/
Allow: /themes/

Do NOT block:

/product
/category
/content
/sitemap.xml

2. Fix “Duplicate Meta Descriptions / Titles”

PrestaShop sometimes creates duplicate titles for:

Fix

  1. In Traffic & SEO → SEO & URLs
  2. Edit Category, Product, CMS templates.
  3. Use dynamic tags in Meta Title:
    {meta_title} | {shop_name}
    

Install free module:

Pretty URL / Remove IDs module
SEO Canonical URL Fixer


3. Fix “Crawled – Currently Not Indexed”

This happens when:

Fix

(A) Disable “filter URLs” indexing

Go to:
Advanced Parameters → Performance → CCC
Disable “Friendly URLs for filters” if enabled.

(B) Improve content

Add 150–300 words unique text on:

(C) Speed Optimization

Use:


4. Fix “Soft 404”

Google thinks your page has no value.

Fix:


5. Fix “404 – Not Found”

Occurs when products deleted or URLs changed.

Fix options:

A) Redirect using PrestaShop

Go to:
Shop Parameters → Traffic & SEO → Redirects

B) Use .htaccess

Example:

Redirect 301 /old-product-url/ https://example.com/new-product-url/

C) For deleted products

In PrestaShop → Product page → Redirect when deleted
Choose:
✔ Redirect to category
✔ Redirect to similar product


6. Fix “Server Error (5xx)”

Caused by:

Fix:

  1. Increase PHP memory limit to 512MB
  2. Disable recently installed modules
  3. Regenerate .htaccess
  4. Check hosting error logs

7. Fix “Mobile Usability Errors”

Such as:

Fix:

  1. Switch to a responsive theme (Warehouse, Transformer recommended)
  2. Test pages:
    Use URL Inspection → View Tested Page → Screenshot
  3. Fix CSS issues:
    img, iframe { max-width: 100%; height: auto; }
    

8. Fix “Schema Markup Errors”

Usually caused by theme modules.
