Shorten URLs for Better SEO and User Experience

Link Analyzer

What is this warning?

A URL on your page is excessively long. While modern browsers can handle long URLs, they are difficult for users to read, remember, and share. Shorter, cleaner URLs are also preferred by search engines and tend to perform better in search results. Think of it as a street sign—a short, clear one is much more helpful than a long, complicated one.
