We are trying to understand if there is any evidence that the URL structure of a website affects or aids the user journey through a website.
Do users (other than web experts) actually glance up there to see where they are? Apart from the SEO benefits of a good URL string is there any evidence or research of navigation improvements?
Does anyone know of any studies in this area?
