What is Subdomain URL Structure?
Hosting languages on subdomains — fr.example.com — which search engines treat as semi-independent sites.
In more depth
Subdomains split link equity and add DNS/SSL overhead. Choose them only when infrastructure demands separation.
Why it matters for your website
Understanding Subdomain URL Structure helps you make better decisions when taking a WordPress site multilingual — from choosing URL structures and engines to controlling costs. Transxlate handles the mechanics (language URLs, lang attributes, caching, hreflang on Pro) so terms like this become settings, not engineering projects.
