How can I remove the 'default collection' page?

How do I delete the second page, ‘default collection’? Not needed.

First photo: Home Page

Second photo: Default Collection

Third photo: Default Product

Thank you

“Default collection” is showing the template collection.liquid design used for every collection on a store by default.

A theme wont work properly if you delete those templates.

But what is the actual goal?

If there’s no “collection” concept for a stores business model simply do not create collections or link to them in content or menus.

I have 7 collections on website. For example the ‘residential’ collection has a selection of 9 products (exterior house wash, driveway, roof, etc.)

But for christmas light installation collection there isn’t any products. yes i do residential and commercial but they are billed the same amount, nothin different.

i want the middle page removed for two reasons; less of a hassle and website speed.

Thank you for your help

The /collection url page does not impact the loadtimes of other pages.

You can try unpublishing it from the online sales channel

Though if there’s no products why have the collection; Delete the collection > no page or settings fiddling.

Alternative is to setup a url redirect to send anyone visiting that url somewhere else on the site, but if you forget you did that later on there will be problems wondering why a collection page isn’t working.
