Frequently asked questions
What is a URL slug?
The slug is the readable last part of a page address, such as best-cafes-in-lisbon in example.com/best-cafes-in-lisbon.
Should I use hyphens or underscores in a slug?
Hyphens. Google’s guidance recommends hyphens to separate words in URLs because it treats them as word separators.
How long should a slug be?
Short and descriptive is best. A few words that match the page topic are enough, and very long slugs are harder to read and share.
Should I remove stop words?
Optional. Dropping words like the, and and of makes shorter slugs. Keep them if removing them would change the meaning.
What happens to accents and symbols?
Accents are stripped (cafe from a version with an accent), & becomes and, and other symbols are removed, so the slug uses only a-z and 0-9.
