Relevance for SEO
The Url are important factors for OnPage optimization. They reflect the page architecture of a web page. Once the structure of the Url, should not be modified. It is advisable to think about the URL structure in the web portal beforehand. Once the search engines index the URLs, they must remain consistent and must not be modified. If a URL is altered, the search engine interprets the modified URL as a new address. This is how Duplicate Content is produced. However, for search engines to be able to read the URL, it must be readable to them. In this way, special characters must be "converted" to ASCII characters.
Talking URLs
Search engines attach particular importance to speaking URLs (or "clean URLs"). The terms "Talking" are used in a URL instead of cryptic parameters. The "talking" file names are easy for web page users to understand. The search terms are also used for usability reasons in the URLs.
