WHAT DOES A at the end of a URL mean?
This is an HTML concept now forgotten just like the Gifs in the 2000s, it’s called an anchor. The anchor is a link to a location in a page, so, if in our example you have an anchor called something when you click on the link above it will load the page and scroll to the location of the anchor.
What does the .com mean in a URL?
commercial
“.com” is short for “commercial.” A site doesn’t necessarily have to have a commercial purpose to use it (though most commercial sites do use this domain). Instead, “.com” is a bit of a catch-all, since this domain name is available to anyone. This differs from more restrictive domain names like “.
When to use a trailing slash on a source?
You can think of a trailing / on a source as meaning “copy the contents of this directory” as opposed to “copy the directory by name”, but in both cases the attributes of the containing directory are transferred to the contain- ing directory on the destination. The trailing slash on the destination doesn’t matter at all.

Is there a 301 redirect for trailing slashes?
Accordinig to the previous links, the non-trailing slash URL should have a 301 redirect to the trailinig slash URL. When setting up, it seemed like the plugin gatsby-plugin-force-trailing-slashes would do this for you however it doesn’t do the 301 redirect which is a server setup problem.
Why are there no trailing slashes in Sitemaps?
This prevents the case where you load a trailing-slash page and once the PWA hydrates it drops the slash; or when you re-load a non-trailing slash page and the dreaded no-slash -> slash -> no-slash sequence occurs. That’s a result of the @reach/router expecting non-trailing slashes from its build-time configuration. This plugin fixes it.
