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 way. For example, in https://example.com/blog/how-to-write-a-slug, the slug is how-to-write-a-slug. Good slugs are short, descriptive, and use lowercase letters and hyphens.
Should I use hyphens or underscores in URLs?
Google recommends using hyphens (-) rather than underscores (_) to separate words in URLs. Google treats hyphens as word separators, so how-to-write is read as three separate words. Underscores are treated as word joiners, meaning how_to_write may be indexed as a single term.
How do slugs affect SEO?
URL slugs are a minor but real SEO signal. Including your target keyword in the slug can help search engines understand the page topic. Short, descriptive slugs also improve click-through rates as users can read the URL and understand what the page is about before clicking.
