Frequently asked questions

What is a URL slug?

A URL slug is the part of a URL that comes after the domain name. For example, in example.com/my-blog-post, "my-blog-post" is the slug. Slugs help search engines and users understand what a page is about.

What makes a good slug?

A good slug is short, descriptive, lowercase, uses hyphens instead of spaces, and includes your target keyword. Avoid special characters, numbers, and unnecessary words.

Why are slugs important for SEO?

Slugs help search engines understand page content and improve click-through rates. A descriptive slug like /best-running-shoes beats a generic one like /post-12345.
