Enabling Friendly URLs for your site

By default, Respond 6 references pages using their .html extension. This is done in both the menu and links created in the application. However, you can enable friendly URLs by changing the FRIENDLY_URLS property in your .env file to true. You will still need to make sure friendly URLs are supported by your server.
