Copy of product includes "Copy of..." in the URL

Technical Q&A
1

Hi,

I have created a couple of products, and i use the duplicate functionality a lot to save some work. But now i can see that the URL used for that product is the original product with a “copy of” in the url. When i edit the URL it automatically makes a redirect from the old to the new URL. This would be ok when i had my shop up and running and to avoid 404 pages and SEO issues. But now that my shop has not gone live yet, i see a lot of unecessary redirects that would make everything slower.

Any tips regarding this?

Found it by following this and deletes redirects. And unchecked the redirect option by editing the product URL
