URL Length
-
I have a simple question. How many characters can a URL be before Moz flags it as too long?
-
Yes, the 75 characters length recommendation includes the http://
Regards.
-
Just to clarify, is "http://" included in the character count?
-
Thx

Hi,
75 characters.
“Choose shorter, human-readable URLs with descriptive keywords. We recommend keeping URLs under 75 characters. When possible, place content on the same subdomain to preserve authority. Optimal format: http://www.example.com/category-keyword/subcategory-keyword/primary-keyword.html.”
Kind regards
