Wordpress : What type of permalink URL structure is best for Pages and Posts for SEO?

Greetings,I've been wondering about the permalink URL structure on sites and have read various articles about it. So far I've concluded the following for posts :

  • Category + Postname
  • Postname only

But, I see on some more advances sites that literally all links are of this structure :

  • domain.xyz / title-of-site

This includes all menu items, even sub-items within the navigation. How do you change those in wordpress since wordpress automatically adds the parent-item into the URL of the menu sub-item?

Is there any benefit from this, other then creating a shorter URL? Wouldn't the parent-item, or the category name, help in SEO purposes if it represents a keyword? Wouldn't a hierarchy help crawlers to have a better insight into the entire site?

Or is it really better to have absolutely no categories in links, not even parent-item / sub-item relationship in menu URL links?

Any help is greatly appreciated.
