# Trailing Slash Guide

Have trailing slash problems after deploying a static website in production?

This repo explains factually the behavior of:
- [Static Site generators](docs/Static-Site-Generators.md) 
- [Hosting Providers](docs/Hosting-Providers.md)

We also suggest some [possible solutions](docs/Solutions.md)

## Intro

Let's get more familiar with trailing slash issues.

**Common problems**:

- SEO/perf issues: when browsing `/myPath`, your host redirects to `/myPath/`
- 404 issues: relative link such as `<a href="otherPath">` are resolved differently (`/otherPath` or `/myPath/otherPath` depending on the presence/absence of a trailing slash
- UX issues: your host adds a trailing slash, and later your single-page-application frontend router removes it, leading to a confusing experience and flickering url

**Causes**:

- static site generators can emit different files for the same path `/myPath`: `/myPath.html` or `/myPath/index.html` (the later can lead to an additional trailing slash)
- host providers all have a different behavior when serving static files, there is no standard

## Summary

Considering this [static site](static):

```sh 
static
│
├── file.html
│
├── folder
│   └── index.html
│
├── both.html
└── both
    └── index.html
```

Behavior of various static hosting providers:

| Host                  | Settings                                         | Url                                                                       | /file                                                                            | /file/                                                                            | /file.html                                                                             | /folder                                                                            | /folder/                                                                            | /folder/index.html                                                                               | /both                                                                          | /both/                                                                          | /both.html                                                                             | /both/index.html                                                                             |
