I personally used %category% slash %postname% before. But given this recommendation, I still have a slightly different conclusion. Why not do the best of both worlds? Why is it necessary to remove the %category%? That can be very useful for your highlevel keywords that you are trying to build SEO juice for. So, why not use the following: %post_id% slash %category% slash %postname% This way you don't have any performance issues of leading with the %postname% or %category% but you still get the seo benefits of using both. The URL is only a little more messy - not much, usually just 2 numbers and a slash... Your thoughts? So, here's the thing… I personally used %category% slash %postname% before.

I often have posts with the same name and it can be troublesome unless you leave in date or post_id information. I currently use: /%category%/%post_id%/%postname% It might be a good idea to leave a unique number in your permalinks.
