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/hello-world", "hello-world" is the slug. Good slugs are short, descriptive, and SEO-friendly.

Should I use hyphens or underscores?

Google recommends using hyphens (-) as word separators in URLs. Hyphens are treated as spaces, making URLs more readable for both users and search engines. Underscores are typically used for programming identifiers rather than URLs.

Why remove numbers from slugs?

Removing numbers can make slugs more timeless and cleaner. For example, "10-tips-for-seo" becomes "tips-for-seo". However, keep numbers if they're meaningful to your content (like "top-5-tools" or "year-2024-review").

What's a good slug length?

Keep slugs between 3-5 words (30-60 characters) for best SEO results. Shorter slugs are easier to read and share. The tool's max length feature helps you stay within your target by intelligently truncating at word boundaries.
