Questions tagged [pretty-urls]

Pretty URLs are URLs that are SEO-friendly and easy-to-read.

Pretty URLs are URLs that are SEO-friendly and easy-to-read. Usually, the pretty URLs are handled by rewrite engines, which convert the pretty URLs to query variables that the server understands and can use within the executed scripts. Pretty URLs have many pros - they are easy to read and more understandable from the user, and easier to index by the search engines. They are easier to manage and make more sense for the users when navigating the websites. There aren't many cons, but one that is worth to be mentioned is the fact that pretty URLs may fail to work on some servers, where the rewrite engines are disabled.
