TL;DR

Google states that using both absolute and relative URLs together on a site does not impact SEO. It provides greater flexibility without penalizing performance. For SEO professionals, it simplifies link strategy design.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

L'utilisation d'URLs relatives ralentit-elle le processus d'indexation ?
Non, l'indexation ne subit pas de ralentissement direct à cause de cela. Mais veillez à maintenir l'intégrité des liens.
Dois-je modifier mon site si j'utilise un seul type d'URL ?
Ce n'est pas nécessaire si votre actuel setup fonctionne. Assurez-vous simplement qu'il n'y a pas de failles dans votre structure.
Y a-t-il un impact sur le crawl budget ?
Potentiellement, surtout pour de gros sites. Une gestion rigoureuse et des tests sont recommandés.
