Long product urls ecommerce store

[wozniak65]

Hi we have a site in the mens fashion space who have long product urls which look like this:

https://www.domain.com/catalog/product/view/id/13700/s/the-mate-tee-grey-marle-upm618g/category/120/

The site is on Magento. Are there any serious SEO negatives of having such a long product url and including irrelevant information in the url like product/view/id/13700/s/ & /category/120/ in the URL.

Or are the benefits of changing them to more URL friendly product urls like:

https://www.domain.com/the-mate-tee-grey-marle-upm/

Minimal?

Cheers.

You are correct, the more user readable friendly (short, easy to understand, without long alpha-numeric strings) your urls are the better they should perform, as long as your on page content is considered relevant by Google for whatever terms it is using.
