How to optimise URLs
First of all what is a URL?
URL is the acronym for Uniform Resource Locator a web address to specify a websites address in the world wide web (WWW).
What is the advantage of optimising your URLs?
For example: I owned an ecommerce website that sells motor parts, now if you don't have a good url structure. Search engine and Human visitors will have a hard time navigating or locating the product they need or want and that will be a lost of potential customer.
How do you optimise your URL?
Create a simple or clear and friendly URL
For example in our website if you want to check the news of July 3 here's what it looks like:
http://day2dayh.blogspot.com/2016/07/day-to-day-headaches-july-3-2016.html
We have the Domain name / Year / Month - July - 7 / Title of the post
And here's an example of a complicated URL:
https://sample.com/forum/#!topic/sites/lf7Zeiw3-jU
Whereas you can't even identify the thread or topic with this kind of URL.
Make use of breadcrumbs
Breadcrumbs are links that allow users to track whether where we're they inside your website.
For example you have a very large ecommerce website putting breadcrumbs will allow users to check and see where they are here's a sample of breadcrumbs.
That's all for today, Thank you
