- Improves overall website category organization and user experience.
Usage:
- Navigate to Website > Configuration > eCommerce Categories.
- Select one or more categories that you want to archive.

Changelog
19.0.1.1.0 (2026-07-29)
First 19.0 release of this module. It carries over the 18.0 features that core still does not provide (archivable public categories, website_url) plus the lazy category tree below.
website_footer_description is not carried over: 19.0 core ships product.public.category.website_footer and renders it on the listing page, so the module’s own field would only duplicate it. A database moving from 18.0 to 19.0 needs its website_footer_description values copied into website_footer.
The shop sidebar renders only the open branch of the category tree. Collapsed branches ship an empty list and are filled from /shop/category_children/<id> when the visitor expands them, which is the first moment their content becomes visible.
Measured on the 18.0 equivalent against a 1222-category catalog: the listing page went from 0.82s to 0.23s (-72%) and from 2.22 MB to 1.20 MB of HTML, with the same 20 products displayed.
Nothing changes visually — the collapsed markup was never on screen. While a search is active the (already filtered, already small) tree stays fully rendered, so search behaviour is untouched.
