If you have WordPress
If you use a content management system like WordPress, it's easy to indulge in URL rewriting. For this you can take two types of action:
Change permalinks: Match the way your URLs are structured. By default, the selected structure is not beneficial in terms of SEO, or in terms of user experience. In our article on wordpress permalinks, we recommend choosing the postname structure that represents the perfect balance between UX and SEO.
Change your URLs in the text editor: To optimize your URLs for SEO, WordPress text editor allows you to change the URL of your pages. You simply click on the edit button to the right of your url and you will have plenty of time to make any changes you want (be strategic in the placement of your keywords, keyword stuffing no).
You can also use plugins like DW Rewrite, rewrite Monkeyman Analyzer.
Otherwise ...
In case you would not use WordPress (which we recommend you do), but another type of CMS or dynamic website.
