Google makes URLs more compact for mobile search results: What changes

Google has announced that it is changing how a URL appears on Search for mobile devices. The company said that users will soon see a cleaner, more streamlined look for URLs in search results. Mobile search results will show simplified URLs, only bearing the domain.

In an update to the Google Search Central blog page, Google said that the “breadcrumb element” in URLs are not as useful to users who search on mobile devices, as it gets cut off on smaller screens.
