This is probably not very exciting for the average user, but if you are linking to any of our product pages it is worth taking note: we have changed our link structure so instead of an ugly URL like:
http://www.upczilla.com/upc-search/?upc=190198624505
…we have nice URLs like:
https://www.upczilla.com/item/190198624505/
The latter look a lot better, we think, and we should have done it sooner but had a few technical dilemmas about how exactly to implement it. The former type will still work (to take account of all the links to our site that are already out there) but using those will automatically redirect you to the new type. The “Share” buttons have also been updated to copy the new link for you.
We decided to use the “slug”Ā item rather thanĀ upc in preparation for introducing EANs and ISBNs in the future. But those plans we’ll talk about another time.
