YOAST "Category URLs"

Tristan Hektor · Jun 12, 2018

Hello,

As far as I remember - its recommended to turn off Taxanomies, Archives and Breadcrumbs for avoiding content duplication.

My question: Should I Remove the categories prefix as well?

I'm asking because even if its working, links on website are still website.com/post, I suppose it should be website.com/category/post, correct?

Thanks!

For your sake do not leave the category in the URL. If you ever decide to restructure your website it will give you a massive headache and there is no real benefit to having it there except a loner URL and it is a little harder to remember the category when you want to revisit a product / post even if you know the title
