Length of url isn’t a prime factor for SEO

Google’s John Mueller said that having a shorter domain name or a shorter URL is not going to benefit you in terms of your SEO and ranking in Google Search.

Domain name or URL length is not a factor. Shorter is not better for SEO. Maybe better or easier for marketing, which is separate.

We do use length lightly for canonicalization, but that's choosing between 2 versions of the same thing (eg, /home/ vs /home/index.html).
