Frequently asked questions
What characters are safe in a URL slug?
Slugs should contain only lowercase letters (a-z), numbers (0-9), and hyphens (-). Avoid underscores, spaces, and special characters. Keep slugs short and descriptive.
Should I use hyphens or underscores?
Use hyphens. Google treats hyphens as word separators (search-engine = two words) while underscores join words (search_engine = one word). Hyphens are better for SEO.
How long should a URL slug be?
Keep slugs as short as possible while remaining descriptive. Aim for 3-5 words covering the main keyword. Shorter slugs are easier to share and look better in search results.
