Frequently Asked Questions
A URL slug is the human-readable part of a URL that identifies a page. For example, in "example.com/about-us", the slug is "about-us". Slugs should be descriptive, lowercase, and use hyphens between words.
Google treats hyphens as word separators but sees underscores as word joiners. So "best-chocolate-cake" is seen as three words, while "best_chocolate_cake" might be seen as one. Hyphens are better for SEO.
Aim for 3-5 words or 50-60 characters. Shorter slugs are easier to read, share, and remember. They also display better in search results without being truncated.
Only if the date is essential to the content (like news articles). For evergreen content, avoid dates as they make content seem outdated even when it is still relevant.
Special characters like @, #, $, %, and & are removed. Accented characters like é, ñ, ü are converted to their base ASCII equivalents (e, n, u).
