SEO-friendly URLs

Another important task in your website optimization is to make sure it produces URLs that are friendly for users and search engines.

By default, Joomla produces URLs like this: yourwebsite.tld/index.php/alias-of-the-menu-item. As you can see, this kind of URL is not friendly as it contains the /index.php/ string in the path.

Both users and search engines would prefer a URL such as the following: yourwebsite.tld/about-us. Immediately, you know that the page provides information about the company and the search engine can read that.

Friendly URLs can be useful to improve the SEO of the website, as they may include the major keywords, creating a direct correspondence between the URL and the page title or main topic.

To enable SEO-friendly URLs, you need to go to the Global Configuration | Site tab and operate in the SEO group of options, displayed in Figure 7.6.
