A URL slug is the part of a URL that identifies a specific page. For example, in https://example.com/best-seo-tips, the slug is best-seo-tips. A good slug is short, lowercase and uses hyphens instead of spaces.

How do I create an SEO-friendly slug?

An SEO-friendly slug should be lowercase, use hyphens (not underscores) to separate words, remove stop words like 'and' and 'the', include the main keyword, and be short — ideally under 60 characters.

Should I use hyphens or underscores in URL slugs?

Always use hyphens (-) in URL slugs, not underscores (_). Google treats hyphens as word separators, making your URLs readable and SEO-friendly. Underscores are treated as joining characters, which can hurt SEO.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes a good SEO URL slug?

A good slug is lowercase, uses hyphens to separate words, includes the primary keyword, is under 60 characters, removes stop words like "and" and "the", and avoids special characters, numbers in dates and session IDs.

Does URL slug affect SEO rankings?

Yes. Google uses the URL slug as a ranking signal. A slug with the target keyword helps search engines understand the page content. Clean, readable URLs also improve click-through rates from search results.

Should I change existing slugs?

Only change an existing slug if absolutely necessary, and always set up a 301 redirect from the old URL to the new one. Changing slugs without redirects will cause broken links and loss of any existing SEO value.
