Few Questions on URL Structure - Advice Needed
I have a very complicated problem - or maybe I make it complicated
I need to change my URL structure. My current structure is .com/year/month/day/post-name and I want it to be .com/post-name because it annoys me (and I think changing it can be benefical). I know how to do this technically, and there is no problem with this part.
The problem is, I can't take the risks. So, I have a few questions on the necessity of changing my URL structure and potential risks about it.
1. I am in a selfcare related niche and have evergreen content. So, do I really need to change my URL structure?
2. If I change it correctly (with proper 301 redirects through htaccess) will I have issues with Google rankings?
3. I have a decent and steady traffic coming from Pinterest search and I am pretty strong on Pinterest. Does changing my URLs affect my Pinterest traffic and/or performance due to redirection? And if I manually change the URLs of my most repinned pins, do I have issues with Pinterest in terms of legitimacy?
4. Finally, am I thinking too much about it? What do you think about these potential risks? Am I being perfectionist?
I really need your help.
Thanks in advance,
Onur
