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 format. For example, in "example.com/blog/my-first-post", "my-first-post" is the slug. Good slugs are short, descriptive, and SEO-friendly.
Should I use hyphens or underscores?
Hyphens (-) are recommended for URL slugs as they're treated as word separators by search engines. Google treats hyphens as spaces, making "my-blog-post" readable as three separate words. Underscores are treated as word joiners.
Why convert to lowercase?
Lowercase URLs are more consistent and easier to remember. Some web servers treat URLs as case-sensitive, which can lead to duplicate content issues. Using lowercase prevents confusion and is considered a best practice.
How long should a URL slug be?
Keep slugs concise but descriptive, ideally 3-5 words or 50-60 characters. Shorter slugs are easier to read, share, and remember. Focus on including important keywords while keeping it natural.
Can I use numbers in slugs?
Yes! Numbers are perfectly fine in URL slugs. They can be useful for dates, versions, or when they're part of the natural title. For example, "top-10-tips" or "guide-2024".
