Why it matters
Very long URLs are harder to read, share and remember, and are often truncated in search results.
How to fix it
Shorten the URL to the words that describe the page.
How it affects your score
Finding this issue on any page costs the Technical SEO score 0.5 points, plus up to 4 more depending on the share of crawled pages affected. A smaller improvement with a modest effect on its own.
Find the affected URLs
Open Crawl > Issues and pick URL over 115 characters. Each affected URL is listed with its evidence, and Copy URLs or Export URLs hands the list to a developer. The issue also appears in the Action Plan, ranked by impact (low) and effort (medium), and in the issues CSV under the code url_long. After fixing, run a new audit and use Compare to confirm the URLs moved to fixed.
