How to find what makes extra url to collections?

Shopify Discussion

Topic summary

Problem: A Shopify collections page URL appears with an unexpectedly long format in an SEO tool (SE Ranking), while the on-site link is clean and short.

Details:

  • Expected URL: https://www.autogarsas.lt/collections/soundbarai
  • SE Ranking shows a much longer variant (screenshot provided), though visiting the site directly loads the clean URL.
  • The poster is unsure if this is caused by a theme/programmatic issue or an admin configuration.

Actions taken:

  • Removed/deleted apps to rule out app-generated parameters; issue persists.
  • Checked admin but no clear source identified.

Open questions / status:

  • Where SE Ranking is sourcing the long URLs from remains unknown.
  • No resolution or confirmed cause yet; image evidence is central to the report.

Hello,

Im having a problem with my collections url. I don’t understand whether it is a program or a technical error in the admin panel that makes the url long, although it should look completely different. I am attaching an example

Here is a photo from SE ranking. The link should like like that: https://www.autogarsas.lt/collections/soundbarai - thats all. When you open it direct from the website, all good.

Maybe you know where the SEO tool finds such long urls from? We are kinda deleted all the apps. And its the same.
