Frequently asked questions
What makes a good URL slug?
A good slug is short, lowercase, hyphen-separated, and descriptive. Include your target keyword, avoid stop words and special characters, and keep it readable so both people and search engines understand the page at a glance.
Should I use hyphens or underscores in URLs?
Use hyphens. Google treats hyphens as word separators but reads underscores as joiners, so my-page-title is parsed as three words while my_page_title is read as one. This tool always uses hyphens.
Should I change the slug after publishing?
Avoid it when possible. Changing a published slug changes the URL, which can break links and lose ranking unless you set up a 301 redirect from the old URL to the new one.
