283 USD 📌 TECHNICAL TASK
Project: https://lasercutpatch.com
CMS: OpenCart
Server: Apache + Cloudflare
Languages:
🇩🇪 DE — main version:
https://lasercutpatch.com/🇬🇧 EN — English version:
https://lasercutpatch.com/en/🇷🇺 RU — language no longer in use
🎯 PROJECT GOAL
Complete stabilization of the SEO architecture and elimination of all technical indexing errors in Google Search Console.
The site must have a strict, single URL structure without duplicates, parameters, and redirect chains.
⚙ INSTALLED MODULES
Use existing:
✅ SEO URL Generator PRO (enabled)
✅ SlaSoft Redirect Manager (available)
New SEO modules are prohibited to install without approval.
🧱 1. Strict URL Architecture
1.1 Canonical Domain Version
The only acceptable format:
https://lasercutpatch.com/
All other variants must 301 redirect directly:
http → https
www → non-www
https://www → https://
Any double slashes //////
Redirect must be strictly one step (no chains).
1.2 Language Logic (mandatory)
DE (main language)
https://lasercutpatch.com/kategorie/
https://lasercutpatch.com/produkt/
EN
https://lasercutpatch.com/en/category/
https://lasercutpatch.com/en/product/
1.3 RU — completely remove from indexing
RU language is no longer in use.
The executor must:
Find all RU URLs (/ru/...)
Make a technically correct decision:
either 410 Gone,
or 301 to DE,
or completely remove from the structure,
Exclude RU from sitemap
Ensure that RU is not generated by the system
Ensure that there are no hreflang for RU
Ensure that there are no internal links to RU
RU version must not be indexed and must not create redirect chains.
🔥 2. Complete Elimination of Junk URLs
Remove and block generation:
/index.php?route=?tag=?search=&parameter URLs
filters and sorting in indexing
Search and tag pages:
either 410 Gone,
or noindex + disallow.
🔁 3. Redirect Policy
Only allowed:
301 Permanent Redirect
Prohibited:
302
307
redirect chains
redirect loops
In Screaming Frog there must be:
0 Redirect Chains
0 Redirect Loops
🧠 4. Canonical Policy
Each indexable page must have:
self-canonical
correct hreflang DE / EN
absence of canonical on parameter URLs
EN must not canonicalize to DE and vice versa.
🤖 5. Robots.txt
Allow:
categories
products
blog
Block:
search
filter
sort
tag
account
cart
checkout
RU must not be allowed.
📄 6. Sitemap
Generate a new sitemap:
Only 200 OK
No 301
No 404
No noindex
No RU
No search
No parameters
Separate:
categories
products
blog
Update in GSC.
🚫 7. Noindex
Leave noindex only for:
cart
checkout
account
search
Categories and products — indexable.
📊 8. Required Result
After the work is completed:
404 internal → 0
Redirect error → 0
5xx → 0
Canonical mismatch → 0
Parameter URLs → 0
RU completely removed from the index
Sitemap clean
Only clean SEO URLs
🧪 9. Mandatory Final Reporting
The executor must provide:
Screaming Frog crawl after corrections
List of redirects
HTTP header check
Check of canonical and hreflang
Screenshots from GSC after re-check
🤖 10. Optimization for AI Systems and Modern Search Models
The site must be technically prepared for correct reading:
Google (Search + AI Overview)
Bing
AI crawlers (LLM systems)
ChatGPT / Perplexity / Claude, etc.
10.1 AI Accessibility (mandatory)
Ensure that robots.txt does not block AI bots
Do not block:
Googlebot
Bingbot
GPTBot
Google-Extended (if used)
Check Cloudflare firewall — does not block bots
10.2 Structured Data (Schema.org)
Add correct markup:
Product schema (price, availability, SKU)
BreadcrumbList
Organization
WebSite + SearchAction
Article (for blog)
Markup must pass validation in:
Google Rich Results Test
10.3 Clean HTML Structure
Content must be in HTML, not only through JavaScript
There must be no critical content loaded only via JS
Headings H1 → H2 → H3 logically structured
One H1 per page
10.4 Logical Semantic Structure
Mandatory elements:
Unique Title
Unique Meta Description
Clear hierarchy of categories
Readable URLs
Breadcrumbs
10.5 Core Web Vitals
The site must:
Open quickly

To stabilize the architecture on OpenCart + Cloudflare, it is most effective to divide tasks into server-side and database-side to avoid load on PHP.
Action plan for implementation:
Server level (Cloudflare + .htaccess): Instead of setting up redirects within OpenCart, the rules for eliminating double slashes, index.php, and mirror concatenation (non-www) are moved to the Cloudflare Bulk Redirects level. This provides a 301 response instantly before reaching the server, ensuring no chains (0 Redirect Chains).
Elimination of the RU version: For all URLs containing /ru/, a 410 Gone status is set. This is critically important: unlike 404 or 301, the 410 status informs Google that the resource has been permanently removed, which accelerates index cleanup several times.
URL Hygiene and Database: We use your SEO URL Generator PRO to regenerate paths. Additionally, through SQL queries in the database, all system duplicates ?route= are cleaned up to prevent their generation by the engine itself.
…
AI readiness and Schema: Microdata (Product, Breadcrumbs, Organization) is implemented through clean JSON-LD in the templates. This makes the content transparent for GPTBot and Google-Extended, without overloading the DOM structure with unnecessary tags.
Savings: No new modules are required. All functionality for removing parameters and setting Canonical is implemented through editing catalog/controller/common/header.php and configuring the existing SlaSoft Redirect Manager.
How many "junk" URLs is Google Search Console currently recording? This will help determine whether to use the URL removal tool in GSC or if a mass return of the 410 status will be sufficient.

I will establish strict URL structure with https non www canonical domain and proper 301 redirects without chains, configure DE as main language and EN as secondary with correct hreflang implementation, completely remove RU from indexing using 301 redirects to DE equivalents, eliminate junk URLs including index.php, route parameters, tag and search pages with proper blocking, implement clean redirect policy using only 301 redirects with zero chains and loops verified in Screaming Frog, set up correct canonical tags and hreflang for DE and EN versions, configure robots.txt to allow categories, products, blog while blocking search, filters, account, cart, and checkout, generate clean sitemap with only 200 OK pages excluding 301, 404, noindex, parameters, and RU, implement Schema.org structured data for Product, BreadcrumbList, Organization, WebSite with SearchAction, and Article markup passing Google Rich Results Test validation, ensure AI bot accessibility including Googlebot, Bingbot, GPTBot, Google Extended with Cloudflare firewall verification, and optimize Core Web Vitals for fast loading.
I will use your existing SEO URL Generator PRO and SlaSoft Redirect Manager without installing new modules. Final deliverables include Screaming Frog crawl report, complete redirect list, HTTP header verification, canonical and hreflang check, and GSC screenshots after reindexing showing zero 404 internal errors, zero redirect errors, zero canonical mismatches, and complete RU removal.
