A permalink is a web address (URL) that remains unchanged for many years into the future. It often links to specific pieces of content on a website, such as blog posts, articles, or forum entries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The term \"permalink\" is a combination of \"permanent\" and \"link.\" It was first used in the early 21st century as the web and blogging became more popular.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In blogging, a permalink refers to the unique URL assigned to each blog post. This ensures that even if the post is archived, its link remains constant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Permalinks are used to link directly to specific comments or threads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Permalinks provide a stable way to reference content, which is crucial for citation, sharing, and indexing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Search engines use permalinks to index and rank pages, making it easier for users to find specific content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Permalinks remain unchanging, so a true permalink stays constant over time, even if the website content or its location changes. Each piece of content should have a unique permalink, ensuring there are no duplicates. Good permalinks are often descriptive, providing users with a clue about the content of the page. For example, \"https:\/\/crea.space\/web-development-dictionary\/permalink<\/a> is more descriptive than \"http:\/\/crea.space\/web-development-dictionary\/18865<\/a>.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n Permalinks typically follow a structure that includes the domain name and a path that reflects the hierarchy of the content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Many content management systems (CMS)<\/a> allow users to customize permalinks to improve readability and SEO<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTechnical aspects<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
