Best SEO Permalink Structure
By default, WordPress gives you this dynamic URL for your post: “http://yourdomain.com/?p=SOME-ID-NUMBER”. The best SEO permalink structure is to have your post appears with ‘category’ and the ‘post title’ in the URL.
This looks something like this: “http://yourdomain.com/category/post-title”
Why is this the best SEO permalink structure compares to the other structures?
To simply put, this permalink structure allows you to have ‘more’ keyword loaded into the URL of your post. Since the category that you’ve placed your post under usually related to the post title (which hopefully is keyword-loaded itself), you will have the extra SEO benefit if other people use that permalink structure to link your post.
How to Change the Default Permalinks to ‘Category/Post-Title’ Permalinks
In order to change the default permalink structure, you need to go to “OPTIONS -> Permalinks” in your admin panel and paste this code into the BOX after “Custom Structure:”
/%category%/%postname%/
Next, click the “Update Permalink Structure >>” button.
