    Actually, I want to create different content hubs around topics related to my blog niche.

    For example if i want to create a content hub around the topic “SEO”.
    So my page structure should be:

    https://www.blog.com/SEO (Pillar page with in-depth content)
    https://www.blog.com/SEO/on-page-seo (sub page)
    https://www.blog.com/SEO/off-page-seo (sub page)
    https://www.blog.com/SEO/keyword-research (sub page)
    https://www.blog.com/SEO/technical-seo (sub page)

    Now for this kind of URL & content structuring in WordPress, I have currently two option:

    Option 1 – Create a category with title “SEO” >> add the sub page under SEO category >> Under WordPress permalink structure choose ‘domain/category/post’ >> and finally redirect category page to custom pillar page created for SEO.

    Option 2 – Use permalink manager plugin to rewrite URL and add a prefix (SEO) to the subpages.

    As you guys are expert in WordPress URL structuring, Please advice me which option is best from SEO & Performance point of view for the long term.

    Thankyou

    Hi @shivamkr45,

    personally, I would rather choose second option, as it would be easier to maintain in long-term, especially considering the fact that you would not need to redirect the subcategories.

    Yes, I also believe that the second option is much easier to execute but since i am new to SEO, I was thinking whether this approach will negatively impact my pages performance and seo issues likes redirection and canonicalization.
