ðĄ URL Slug Tips
Use hyphens (-) as separators. Google treats hyphens as word separators, but underscores (_) are not recognized the same way.
Keep slugs short and descriptive. 3â5 keywords is ideal.
Remove stop words (a, an, the, of, in) to keep slugs clean.
Avoid dates in slugs (/2024/01/my-post) â they're hard to change later.
Once published, changing a slug breaks existing links. Always set up a 301 redirect if you must change it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do URL slugs affect SEO?
Yes. Keywords in the URL are a weak ranking signal for Google. More importantly, descriptive URLs improve click-through rates (CTR) because users can understand what the page is about from the URL alone.
What happens if I change an existing slug?
The old URL will return a 404 error. Always set up a 301 redirect from the old URL to the new one to preserve SEO value and avoid broken links.
Should I use hyphens or underscores?
Use hyphens. Google's John Mueller has confirmed that hyphens are treated as word separators, while underscores join words together. So "image-compressor" is better than "image_compressor" for SEO.
