Trailing slashes on static page URLs – yay or nay?
-
I’m posting this because I can’t seem to find a clear answer to this issue on the web.
My WordPress sites currently consist of mainly static pages. My URLs are of the form
http://www.mysite.com/about/
(single top-level page) orhttp://www.mysite.com/more/history/
(single second-level page).Given that these URLs point to a specific page, I find the trailing slash a bit incongruous. The main options for single static pages are:
http://www.mysite.com/about/
http://www.mysite.com/about
http://www.mysite.com/about.html
Does anyone have any ideas of the practical pros and cons for each option (excepting choice, aesthetic or historical reasons)? I imagine that there may be various practical reasons for each – SEO, redirects etc.
