The "Category Links for OpenCart" module is designed to create an effective internal navigation system on product category pages. This tool allows you to place additional link blocks on each category page that direct visitors to related catalog sections or special offers.

The module's main function is to create visual link blocks consisting of text, URL address, and optional image. These elements are styled as neat tiles that harmoniously complement the overall design of the online store without disrupting the user experience.
The module is particularly useful for stores with large product assortments, where it's important to help customers quickly navigate between different subcategories and find what interests them. For example, on the "Electronics" category page, you can place links to "New arrivals in electronics", "Gadget sale", or "Top 10 electronics of the month".
In the administration panel, the module integrates through an additional "Links" tab in each category's editing form. This allows you to configure unique sets of links for different categories according to their specifics and target audience.
Strategically placed links between categories create a natural network of transitions that increases site browsing depth and user session time. Visitors more often discover new products and sections, which directly impacts conversion growth and average order value.
From a search optimization perspective (SEO), the module creates additional internal linking that helps distribute weight between pages and improves their positions in search results. Search robots better understand the site structure and connections between different catalog sections.
The module is fully adapted for operation on all device types and compatible with major OpenCart themes. The installation and initial setup process takes minimal time, and the effect of use becomes noticeable immediately after activating the first linking blocks.
