so ive been reading up on SEO- and heard that paths should include full http://www.etc
path, does this apply for image sources and video content as well?
our does it make a difference if say a video on my page is loaded via "/images/ex.mov"
does this affect load time at all either way?
thanks
It depends whether you want an absolute path or relative path.
When loading files(such as images) from another site, you should use full, absolute urls (including http://).
Example: You want to load file http://www.example.com/images/img1.gif from http://www.example.com/page.html, you could use the path "/images/img1.gif".
however, if you want to load http://www.etc.com/images/img1.gif from http://www.example.com/page.html, you have to specify full url ("http://www.etc.com/images/img1.gif").
Seo doesnt matter if you use full or relative, as long as they point to the correct destination
The only way it affects load times would be that the user has to download the bytes that the absolute url provides as extra characters.
