I’m using the requestModelAccessor.RequestModel.CurrentPageModel to see which the current page is.  
But when i’m on the product or category page it says i am on the StartPage.

How can i see if the current page is the product or category page?

Litium version: 7.3.1

I have done this by using: requestModel.CurrentPageModel.SystemId PageService ChannelService UrlService Though when a user is on a category or product page the SystemId above will not point to that “Page”.
