Simplify Your URL Structure for Better SEO and Usability

URL Analyzer

What is this warning?

A URL on your site has a very deep and complex folder structure. This can make the URL long and difficult for users to understand. Search engines may also interpret a very deep URL structure as a sign of low-importance content. A flatter, simpler structure is generally better for both users and SEO.
