What is a URL Slug?
A URL slug is the exact part of a web address that comes after the domain name. It identifies a specific page on a website in an easy-to-read format. For example, in website.com/my-post-title, the slug is my-post-title.
SEO Best Practices for Slugs
- Keep it short and descriptive.
- Use hyphens (-) to separate words, not underscores (_).
- Remove stop words like "a", "an", "the", "and" if they make the slug too long.
- Always use lowercase letters to prevent broken links on case-sensitive servers.
