There's tons of articles and opinions about this matter on the web. I'm sure there are the same different opinions in Seblod community.

I personally don't care about the .html suffix. Some people say its more user friendly to have URLs without it. But then, some of my clients insist on having the suffix.

I'm not too much of an SEO expert and personally think that there is a lot of fuzz about the whole subject. As long as you have interesting content on your site and not thousands of competitors, people will eventually find your site and read it.

Hi gebeer, 

thanks for your reply :)
Right now, here are some good reason found around internet on Why don't add suffix:
  • the information offers no value to users and search engines
  • it needlessly increases the length of your URL
  • is an additional piece of information you offers to hackers about your web server files
  • it helps a lot with SEO if and when you change language/technologies (like for example move from .html pages to .php pages)
