Frequently Asked Questions
What is a URL slug?
A URL slug is the part of a URL that identifies a specific page in a human-readable, SEO-friendly way. For example, in 'mysite.com/about-us/', 'about-us' is the slug.
Should I use hyphens or underscores in URLs?
Google recommends hyphens (-) over underscores (_) in URLs. Hyphens are treated as word separators by search engines, while underscores are treated as word joiners.
What's the ideal slug length?
Keep slugs under 60 characters when possible. Shorter is better for readability and sharing. Remove stop words (the, a, an, in) to shorten slugs.
Should I include numbers in slugs?
Avoid year numbers in slugs unless the content is evergreen. Numbers like 2025 make your URL outdated when the year changes.
Does it handle accented characters?
Yes, accented characters (é, ñ, ü) are normalized to their ASCII equivalents (e, n, u) for safe URL usage.
