What is a URL Slug?

A URL slug is the part of a URL that identifies a page in an easy-to-read form. For example, in "example.com/blog/my-first-post", the slug is "my-first-post". Good slugs are lowercase, use hyphens instead of spaces, and contain only URL-safe characters.

Slug Conversion Rules

• Lowercase - Converts all text to lowercase
• Hyphens - Replaces spaces with hyphens (-)
• Remove Special Characters - Removes characters not allowed in URLs
• Remove Accents - Converts accented characters to ASCII (é → e)
• Trim - Removes leading and trailing whitespace and hyphens
• Deduplicate - Replaces multiple consecutive hyphens with single hyphen

Why URL Slugs Matter for SEO

• User-Friendly - Easy to read and remember
• Descriptive - Describes page content clearly
• Keyword-Rich - Can include target keywords
• Shareable - Clean URLs are more likely to be shared
• Search Engine Ranking - Good slugs can improve SEO

Best Practices

• Keep slugs short and concise (3-5 words ideal)
• Include target keywords when relevant
• Avoid stop words (a, an, the, and, or, but) when possible
• Use hyphens, not underscores
• Make slugs permanent (changing URLs hurts SEO)
