# URL Aliases

Varbase 11.0.x provides automatic URL alias management using the **Pathauto** module. Pathauto generates clean, human-readable URL aliases for content, taxonomy terms, users, and other entities based on configurable patterns. This replaces Drupal's default system paths (such as `/node/123`) with meaningful, SEO-friendly URLs.

Pathauto is installed and configured as part of the **Varbase SEO Base** recipe, which sets up default URL alias patterns for common content types.
