Can some one pls clarify if using full URLs or just file names is better? I would think using filenames within pages would run faster then using full URLs but I could be wrong.
In other words which would be better (SEO point of view, speed, etc.) to use and why
If you're on a 4 baud modem, then yes, using relative URLs will make the page load in only 8 years 9 months 15 days 6 hours 4 minutes 26 seconds instead of absolute URLs loading in 8 years 9 months 15 days 6 hours 4 minutes 27 seconds. SEO-wise, it's irrelevant.
Thanks Paul for clearing up on this. I was under the impression of a full URL taking longer as it would have to be resolved each timed it's called but then again it may be cached in.. in which case speed should be irrelevant.
A relative URL -- one which does not include the domain name -- is the kind that has to be transformed by the software into the full URL and therefore takes a nanosecond longer for the web browser to process.
