1. Remove spaces from url

<encodeNameReplacements>

  <replace mode="on" find=" " replaceWith="-" />

</encodeNameReplacements>



<linkManager defaultProvider="sitecore">

  <providers>

    <add name="sitecore" addAspxExtension="false" 

encodeNames="true" lowercaseUrls="true" ... />

  </providers>

</linkManager>




<settings>

  <setting name="InvalidItemNameChars">

    <patch:attribute name="value">\/:?&quot;&lt;&gt;|[]-</patch:attribute>

  </setting>

</settings>










2. Make Urls all lower case




<linkManager defaultProvider="sitecore">

  <providers>

    <add name="sitecore">

      <patch:attribute name="lowercaseUrls">true</patch:attribute>

    </add>

  </providers>

</linkManager>










3. Get rid of aspx extension




<linkManager defaultProvider="sitecore">

  <providers>

    <add name="sitecore">

      <patch:attribute name="addAspxExtension">false</patch:attribute>

    </add>

  </providers>

</linkManager>
