Changing page name URL's for better SEO rankings

[Maynards]

Having a "friendly" url does NOT improve your page ranking. This has been discussed to death multiple times in this forum by people far more knowledgeable that me. Do not mess with your urls unless you have a real reason to do so.

That link to that plugin is a old version not compatible with php7: use the version on my github.

Why do I use it? Because we send links in emails a lot and I like the "friendly" url more than the default one. Nothing to do with SEO.

Thanks for your input.
I am trying to learn about SEO and everything I read about they say how important it is to have friendly URL's.
I also find it very hard to search this forum to come up with relevant information on a topic that I seek. I must be doing somthing wrong when I search.
