What is a long URL?
A long and cumbersome address to a particular file or document on the Internet. Typing long URLs printed on paper into a Web browser is error prone, and they are often clipped in email and chat messages when they reach the recipient. See URL shortening.
Can you have a long domain name?
What Is The Maximum Domain Name Length? The maximum number of characters you can have in a website address left of the "." is 63 characters.
What happens if a URL is too long?
An overly long URL can cause both usability and search engine issues: Any potential benefit you may have by including keywords in the URL will be diluted since it's such a small percentage of the total URL text. Longer URLs are truncated by search engines, in web browsers, and many other areas.
How long is a long URL?
This URL must begin with the protocol (e.g. “http”) and end with a trailing slash if required by the web server. This value must not exceed 2,048 characters. Longer URLs can cause the XML sitemap to become invalid, and search engines may then disregard the sitemap as a consequence.
