Frequently Asked Questions
What is a URL Slug?
A slug is the exact part of a URL that identifies a particular page on a website in a readable form. (e.g., in /blog/my-first-post, 'my-first-post' is the slug).
Why use hyphens instead of underscores?
Google explicitly recommends using hyphens (-) to separate words. Search engines treat hyphens as space delimiters, while underscores (_) are treated as connected letters.
Do URL slugs impact SEO rankings?
Yes. Descriptive slugs containing your target keyword provide strong contextual signals to search algorithms and significantly increase user click-through rates.
What is diacritic normalization?
It is the process of safely converting special language characters (like 'é', 'ü', 'ñ') into base English alphabet equivalents ('e', 'u', 'n') to prevent painful URL encoding breaks.
How long should a slug be?
Conciseness is key. Cut out 'stop words' (and, the, or) and keep your URLs between 3-5 words focused tightly on the primary topic keyword.
