The `site_url` setting is important for a number of reasons.
By default, MkDocs will assume that your site is hosted at the root of
your domain. This is not the case, for example, when [publishing to GitHub
pages] - unless you use a custom domain. Another reason is that some of the
plugins require the `site_url` to be set, so you should always do this.
