many version ago we can use this

site.com/Product-cat1
site.com/Product-cat2
site.com/Product-cat3

but now its required and its toooooooo bad

I must use

site.com/product-categoty/Product-cat1
site.com/product-categoty/Product-cat2
site.com/product-categoty/Product-cat3

I can’t empty that file,d our site SEO has been destroyed with this new option WHY ?
