Configure URL in Lowercase with Sitecore Experience Accelerator

One of the most prominent benefits of SXA is its ability to enable users to configure any website or webpage URL in lowercase. It is not only a fairly simple process but also an effective hack to attract more visitors, all while adding a hint of sophistication to the overall look of your website.

There are only two steps involved to set this up. These are outlined below:

Step 1:

Navigate to your app_config\sitecore.config file and update <lowercase>  true </lowercase>.

Step 2:

Navigate to \App_Config\Modules\SXA\Foundation\Sitecore.XA.Foundation.Multisite.config file. Locate to below <linkmanager> section and add new lowercaseUrls=”true”.

As an alternative method, you can also create a path file with below settings. 

<sitecore>   

    <linkManager>

      <providers>

        <add name="localizedProvider">

          <patch:attribute name="lowercaseUrls">true</patch:attribute>

        </add>

      </providers>

    </linkManager>

    <links>

      <urlBuilder>

        <lowercaseUrls>true</lowercaseUrls>

      </urlBuilder>

    </links>

</sitecore>
