Frequently Asked Questions
What makes a good URL slug?
A good slug is short, descriptive, lowercase, uses hyphens to separate words, avoids special characters, and contains relevant keywords for SEO.
Should I use hyphens or underscores in slugs?
Hyphens are recommended. Google treats hyphens as word separators but treats underscores as word joiners. 'my-blog-post' is better for SEO than 'my_blog_post'.
How long should a slug be?
Keep slugs under 50-60 characters. Include important keywords near the beginning. Remove unnecessary words like 'a', 'the', 'and' to keep slugs concise.
