Exclude parent page from url and bredclumbs

Hi, We have a LOT of brands and this makes the admin slow when expanding the brand tree in the left men, to get around this am thinking of grouping together all brands along the first letter, so I would create multiple brand list pages.

Brands>A>all brands starting with A as subpages to the brand list A.
and then on the list page loop over all the list pages.

What do I have to do to remove A from the Url and breadcrumbs? Or are there some better solution that I’m missing?

Litium version: 7

Is it specific the performance in the back office tree that are the problem or to find the correct brand page to work with?

For finding you have the sub pages tab on the parent page that you an sort the childs in

It’s not possible to remove the A from the Url but the breadcrumbs can be modified in the BreadCrumbsViewModelBuilder.

Its the performance, we have 1600 brands, and the pages becomes unmanageable when you expand the brand menu, super slow and often craches the browser.

And it take about 5 sec so switch from English to Swedish, when am editing the brandpages.

Also I cant delete the pages, I get

“The page(s) have not been moved to the trashcan because there are subpages that you don’t have permission to update.”

But there are no subpages.
