What Makes a Good URL Slug?

A good URL slug is short, descriptive, and contains your target keywords. It should be easy to read and remember. Avoid special characters, spaces, and uppercase letters in slugs for maximum compatibility across all browsers and platforms.

Slug Best Practices for SEO

• Use hyphens as word separators (Google recommends this over underscores)
• Keep slugs short — 3 to 5 words is ideal
• Include your primary keyword in the slug
• Remove stop words like "a", "the", "and", "or"
• Use lowercase letters only for consistency
• Avoid dates in slugs unless the content is time-sensitive

Separator Options

• Hyphen (-): The most common and SEO-recommended separator. Used by WordPress, Shopify, and most CMS platforms by default.
• Underscore (_): Common in Python file naming and some older CMS systems. Less preferred for SEO.
• Dot (.): Used in some file-based routing systems and static site generators.
