    Actually, your plugin is one of the very few, maybe the only one, that offer a app-like navigation in a WordPress website. But it seems to me a bit outdated, specifically because it still uses URLs (correct me if I’m wrong).

    The use of hashed URLs is a very old technique not recommended anymore for AJAXed web applications (Google oficcilay deprecated the crawling of that kind of AJAX URLs on October 2015). Any plan to move on and build a modern PWA, specifically one that use non-duplicated, crawlable and user-friendly URLs?

    It is annoying that some users in a mobile device can end up sharing URLs like https://example.com/#category/269/article/3287 instead of the real post permalink.

  • Hi,

    This is AJAX so, AJAX doesn’t work with ordinary urls.
    Theres is some benefits but theres is some bad things too.
    The benefits are that since google doesn’t index urls with # in it you don’t have duplicated content issues, the bad things are that all traffic and backlinks that you have to your app doesn’t count to page rank.
    Nothing is perfect ??

    Thanks,

    Pedro

    @sopedro things are not like that; Ajax doesn’t need a specific URL format in the browser. Why do you say such thing? Ajax is a technology to perform async requests, the application using Ajax can update the URLs in the browser to any desired format, even not update the URLs at all, it only depends on how the developer has built the application. A modern web application for public crawling doesn’t use hashed URLs anymore, you can be sure.
