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 way. For example, in /blog/how-to-write-a-slug, the slug is how-to-write-a-slug.

Why should slugs be lowercase with hyphens?

Lowercase avoids case sensitivity issues. Hyphens are preferred by Google as word separators in URLs over underscores, which are treated as word joiners.

Should I include stop words in slugs?

Shorter slugs are better, so remove articles like a, an, the unless they are essential to meaning. Keep important keywords.

Can I use special characters in slugs?

Stick to alphanumeric characters and hyphens. Special characters must be percent-encoded in URLs, which makes links harder to read and share.
