Frequently Asked Questions

A slug is the part of a URL that uniquely identifies a specific page in a human-readable format. For example, in the URL https://example.com/10-tips-for-better-sleep, the slug is 10-tips-for-better-sleep. It often derives from the page title or main topic.

Search engines like Google use words in slugs as a ranking signal. A clear, descriptive slug helps both users and crawlers understand page content before clicking. Including relevant keywords in the slug can improve click-through rates (CTR) and give a small SEO boost.

Slugs should only contain lowercase letters (a–z), numbers (0–9), hyphens, underscores, or dots. Most modern systems also permit uppercase letters, but lowercase is strongly recommended to avoid duplicate content issues. Special characters (!, @, #, $, %, etc.) are stripped or encoded and should never be manually used.

Google explicitly recommends hyphens (-) as word separators because search engines treat a hyphen as a space, while underscores (_) are treated as connectors (words are joined). Thus, red-shoes is seen as two words, while red_shoes may be considered one word. Always prefer hyphens for SEO.

Keep slugs concise – ideally between 3 and 5 words and shorter than 60 characters. Remove stop words like “a”, “the”, “and” unless they are essential for context. A short, focused slug is easier to read, share, and remember.

Most web servers treat URLs as case‑sensitive, but browsers and Google normalize them to lowercase. To avoid duplicate content (e.g., /My-Page vs. /my-page) and broken links, always use lowercase slugs. Our tool applies lowercase by default.
