: How do search engines handle URL's when it comes to SEO? I am building a website using Symfony. At the moment, the "raw" URL's being used are like this: www.localhost.com/mainpage/home www.localhost.com/events/1/name-of-the-eve

I am building a website using Symfony. At the moment, the "raw" URL's being used are like this:
localhost.com/mainpage/home www.localhost.com/events/1/name-of-the-event


When the development of the website is finished, I will use the .htacess file to rewrite them as follows:
localhost.com (this is the mainpage/home URL) localhost.com/events/name-of-the-event

My question is when the search engines crawl the site, will they be reading the old (non-rewrited) URL's or reading the rewrited URL's?
