"Google's John Mueller reminded us about when case sensitivity matters for Google Search and SEO when it comes to your URLs. In short, Google will probably figure it out based on two URLs having the same content on it but why leave it up to Google, so make sure to be consistent with your URLs so Google doesn't need to figure it out."
"URL path, filename, and query parameters are case-sensitive, the hostname / domain name aren't. Case-sensitivity matters for canonicalization, so it's a good idea to be consistent there. If it serves the same content, it'll probably be seen as a duplicate and folded together, but "hope" should not be a part of an SEO strategy. Case-sensitivity in URLs also matters for robots.txt."
URL path, filename, and query parameters are case-sensitive, while the hostname or domain name is not. Case sensitivity affects canonicalization and can cause multiple URL variants to be treated as duplicates. Duplicate URLs that serve the same content may be folded together, but relying on automatic consolidation is risky for SEO. Robots.txt directives can be affected by casing differences, potentially altering crawling behavior. Consistent URL casing prevents indexing, crawling, and canonicalization confusion. Implementing uniform case rules and proper redirects avoids unnecessary duplicate content issues and improves search engine handling.
