seo-unfriendly urls

Adjective Phrase
DefinitionSEO-unfriendly URLs are web addresses that make it difficult for search engines to understand the content of a page and for users to remember or trust them. These URLs often contain long strings of numbers, irrelevant parameters, special characters, or lack descriptive keywords. They hinder a website's visibility in search results by making it harder for crawlers to index pages effectively. Such URLs can also negatively impact user experience, as they appear less trustworthy and are harder to share or type manually. Ultimately, they impede a website's organic search performance and overall online presence.
Example

"The e-commerce site struggled with search rankings partly due to its extensive use of seo-unfriendly urls containing session IDs and product codes."
