Here’s a practical PrestaShop Google Search Console (GSC) error-fixing guide, focused on the most common issues store owners face and how to fix them step-by-step.
Pages Not Indexed (Crawled – currently not indexed)
Causes
Duplicate content
Low-quality or thin content
Canonical pointing elsewhere
No internal links
Fix
Improve content (unique product descriptions, FAQs)
Add internal links (related products, categories)
Check canonical tags:
<link rel=”canonical” href=”https://yourstore.com/product-url” />
Request indexing after fixes
PrestaShop tip:
Disable duplicate URLs from:
SEO & URLs → Set canonical URL to product
Duplicate Without User-Selected Canonical
Causes
Filter URLs
Sorting parameters
Multiple product URLs
Fix
Enable canonical URLs:
Shop Parameters → Traffic & SEO → Set canonical URL to product
Block parameters in GSC:
Settings → Crawl → URL Parameters
Optional robots.txt rule:
Disallow: /*?*
404 Not Found Errors
Causes
Deleted products/categories
Changed URLs
Old backlinks
Fix
Create 301 redirects:
SEO & URLs → Redirects
Example:
Old URL → New URL (301)
Fix broken internal links using:
GSC → Pages → Not found
Screaming Frog / Ahrefs
Soft 404 Errors
Causes
Empty category pages
Out-of-stock products returning 200 status
Fix
Show proper 404 for removed products
Redirect discontinued products to:
Parent category
Similar product
Best practice:
Do NOT show “No products found” with status 200
Blocked by robots.txt
Causes
Wrong robots rules
Overblocking folders
Fix
Check:
yourstore.com/robots.txt
Recommended rules:
User-agent: *
Disallow: /cart
Disallow: /order
Disallow: /my-account
Allow: /
Avoid blocking:
/modules/
/themes/
Redirect Error
Causes
Redirect loops
302 instead of 301
HTTP → HTTPS issues
Fix
Force HTTPS:
Shop Parameters → General → Enable SSL
Ensure single redirect path:
http → https → www/non-www (only once)
Core Web Vitals Issues
Common Problems
High LCP
CLS due to image size
JS blocking
Fix
Enable:
CCC (Combine, Compress, Cache)
Lazy loading images
Image optimization (WebP)
PrestaShop Settings:
Advanced Parameters → Performance
Structured Data (Schema) Errors
Common Errors
Missing price

price
availability
sku
You already prefer ImageObject, which is correct for Google
