Introduction

When it comes to URL format it is always a best practice to use a short URL. The short URL is better than the long ones. If we think with respect to Google then mostly the priority is given to the simple URL structure of the websites. Here we can consider the advantages of a well-structured URL of the website as the GoogleBot can easily crawl the website URL. Mainly, Magento 2 provides the “index.php” in the URL structure and which seems odd if considered structure-wise. Hence, let’s remove index.php from the URL.

Step 2: Now, goto Stores > Configuration > General > Web.

Step 3: After that you need to explore the Search Engine Optimization section.

Step 4: Now you need to set YES in Use Web Server Rewrites.

Step 5: Now you need to explore the Base URLs (Secure) option.

Step 6: Turn the Use Secure URLs on Storefront to ‘YES’

Step 7: As always Save the configuration after completing the above-given steps.
