How to create a product catalog without plugins and only with Generatepress
5 replies · Started by Giovanni on November 1, 2022
I want to create a page that serves as a product catalog. There must be no possibility of purchase but only the possibility of chat or email contact.
I had thought about using only generatepress blocks
I had thought of doing it like this:
1. open a new blog category. Or, open a page with the permalink of the keyword I'm interested in being intercepted on google
2. within this page or article use the Generatepress grid and the other blocks to create a product catalog
Could it be okay or does it create a mess in terms of SEO and page structure (too heavy)?
My fear is that if I get to load 100 products on the page then this one, it becomes too heavy to load.
I make an outline of what I have described:
Hi there,
Could it be okay or does it create a mess in terms of SEO and page structure (too heavy)?
I'm not an SEO expert but I don't believe it would have an impact on SEO. This isn't related to the theme so you can try asking the question on a general WP forum like this one:

Tough to say until the page is built then you can run it through a speed test.
Hope this helps.
Thanks Leo,
but technically you can set the page in the way I described only using the blocks of GP?
The description is a bit confusing but I don't see why not - maybe go ahead and try it and see if it works?
Another option is to use the Query Loop block:

It can be used to display posts as well as products.
Yes, thank you, I'll do a test, then if I see that it's not good, I'll delete the page
Trial and error is always the best way to learn :)
