disconnect url of a product from a name change

Peter Carol

I found out today that if you change the name of a product the url changes. Can this be locked down. I was investigating a drop off in a popular product.

Hi, Peter, this shouldn't matter. The product ID is in the URL, and if the product name changes in there, the site will 301 redirect to the correct version, which is the way that the site says "this content lives here now" - so you don't lose any SEO ranking
