Frequently Asked Questions

What makes a good URL slug?

Short, descriptive and stable. Three to five meaningful words, hyphen separated, lowercase, no dates or numbers that will go stale. The slug should still make sense read on its own in a search result.

Should I use hyphens or underscores?

Hyphens. Search engines treat a hyphen as a word separator and an underscore as a word joiner, so "my_blog_post" can be read as one token while "my-blog-post" reads as three words.

Should I remove stop words?

Usually yes for length, but not at the cost of sense. "how-to-fix-a-leaking-tap" reads better than "fix-leaking-tap" even though it is longer. Remove them only when the slug still reads naturally.

What happens to non-Latin characters?

Accented Latin letters are transliterated to their base form. Non-Latin scripts are removed, since they would need percent-encoding in a URL — so provide a Latin title for those pages.
