Fixing poorly formatted URLs and enforcing clean permalink structures prevents search indexing confusion and preserves link equity across website migrations.

URL Optimization Checklist

- Lowercase & Hyphenated: Replace underscores or uppercase strings with lowercase hyphens. - Eliminate Dates & IDs: Omit volatile dates or raw database IDs from permalinks. - 308 Permanent Redirects: Map legacy URLs to clean permalinks via HTTP 308 status codes.
