A URL contains characters that are not safe for web addresses, such as spaces, quotes, or special symbols. These characters can cause problems with browsers, servers, and sharing platforms. They should be properly encoded (percent-encoded) to ensure the URL works correctly everywhere.
/search?q=hello world&type="product"
Encode unsafe characters using percent-encoding. Spaces become `%20`, quotes become `%22`, etc.
/search?q=hello%20world&type=%22product%22
Properly encoded URLs work reliably across all browsers and platforms, preventing broken links and ensuring a consistent user experience.
This issue can affect your site's search engine rankings and user experience. Addressing it promptly helps ensure optimal performance and visibility in search results.
