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 form. For example, in 'example.com/blog/my-first-post', the slug is 'my-first-post'. Good slugs are lowercase, use hyphens as separators, and describe the content.

Should I use hyphens or underscores in slugs?

Use hyphens (-). Google treats hyphens as word separators in URLs, improving SEO. Underscores are treated as part of the word, so 'hello_world' is one word to Google, while 'hello-world' is two. Hyphens are also more readable.

What is the maximum slug length?

Most CMSes and frameworks don't enforce a strict limit, but best practice is under 60 characters. Long slugs are truncated in search engine results, and very long URLs can be penalized. Focus on the most important keywords.
