Why do Shopify URLs include /pages/ and /blogs/ in their paths?

This has been a pet peeve for a while, why do blogs and pages have /pages/ and /blogs/ in their urls?

Why not just domain.com/pagename or domain.com/blogname

And when you get down to the blog posting level it’s domain.com/blogs/blogname/posttitle. Sheesh!!!

We use links to various pages and blogs on our social and would rather have a shorter link without creating a tiny url.

Is there any way solution or just the way it is.

Thanks

Only thing that comes to mind is to create url redirections, so it’s easier for you to navigate to some page/blog.
Go to online store > navigation > view url redirects
And create your redirects, for example:
/page-name → /pages/page-name

So when someone types domain.com/page-name, it will be redirected to domain.com/pages/page-name.
Hope this helps. :slightly_smiling_face:

Thank you Marina, that is working perfectly. I never saw that link on
the navigation page.
