Been telling SEOs this for years and got into many arguments about it. LOL

Thanks for giving a clear and precise response to the question asked. As you say, for SEO purposes, both types of URL can be used which makes things easier for developers.

From a development perspective, best practice is using relative urls for the website's own links. That's how I was taught in college anyway.

Do Relative ones save you DB space and increase performance metrics? Will there be even a tiny difference?

Question: When handling redirects after a redesign, do they always need to remain in place or will Google replace the old indexed links with the new ones over time? Can you please give some advice for best practices handling and managing redirects. Thanks 🙏🏻

Reason: I had a very old and messy website recently, not only were the links on the old website badly formatted but the were even older pages still indexed and available of the previous website so I had to create a LOT of redirects. I love to keep things tidy so wondering will this change over time as I have a Shopify converting to WordPress at the moment and same thing, Shopify seems to create links for links when it comes to the blogs in comparison to WordPress websites.
