Ask HN: URL format for blog posts - which format is best? Example 1: myblog.com/my-readable-but-long-blog-post-title-in the-url OR myblog.com/posts/my-readable-but-long-blog-post-title-in the-url Example 2: myblog.com/2022/08/my-readable-but-long-blog-post-title-in the-url Example 3: myblog.com/62642060 --- Pro and cons: Examples 1 and 2: Readable but long URLs. They may also help SEO (search engine optimisation). Example 2: The date in the URL provide helpful context. Example 3: A short URL easily shared (but URL is not descriptive). Which of these URL formats do you prefer? Or do you think they don't really matter? Thank you :-) |
