What is an ideal URL Strategy

Enriching User Experiences

From an end-user perspective:

• URLs are clean readable, and consistent across different pages.
  • Consistency must extend to various page domains.
  • Embrace meaningful segments that enhance user comprehension.
  • Steer clear of sudden or frequent URL changes post-production as users may rely on existing bookmarks.
• Prioritize SEO-friendliness to enhance discoverability.

Empowering Developers

From a developer's angel:

• Promote ease of extension, searchability, and predictability. This foresight becomes invaluable as the application scales.
• Coordinate the URL with page level layout component progressively

Long story short, a good URL strategy is to foster satisfaction among users—both developers and end-users—while optimizing for SEO benefits.
