html extension in url

Question

Hey All

Is it possible to switch off the file extension in the URL.

instead of example.com/test.html example.com/test

Does it affect search engine friendliness?

Best regards

Ronny

Hi Ronny,

It would be possible but not recommended.
This helps normalize the internal navigation, redirection, and avoids communication issues surrounding url's.
Standard extensions do not affect SEO.
