How to safely shorten URL character length?

Hello,

Thank you for contacting Rank Math support today and bringing your concern to our attention.

When attempting to shorten your URL, ensure that the keyword is still mentioned as Search Engines also check the description in your URL.

Please refer to these guides:

As for the redirects, head over to your WordPress Dashboard > Rank Math > General Settings > Redirections and ensure the option “Auto Post Redirect”.

Once you changed your URL, a redirection will automatically be created.

Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.
