URL slug best practices
Keep it short
Shorter URLs correlate with better rankings. Aim for 3-5 words that capture the page's main topic.
Remove stop words
Words like "the", "and", "of", "for" add no SEO value. Remove them for cleaner, more focused URLs.
Use hyphens, not underscores
Google treats hyphens as word separators but underscores as joiners. Always use hyphens in your slugs.
Lowercase only
URLs are case-sensitive. Stick to lowercase to avoid duplicate content issues from mixed-case URLs.
Frequently asked questions
What is a URL slug?
The part of a URL that identifies the page, after the domain and any folders — in /blog/seo-url-slug-generator/, the slug is seo-url-slug-generator. It is read by people in search results and shared links, and by search engines as a relevance signal.
What makes a URL SEO-friendly?
Lowercase, words separated by hyphens rather than underscores, no accents or special characters, and short enough to read at a glance — three to five meaningful words. Drop the filler: dates, category numbers and stop words age the URL without adding meaning.
Should I remove stop words from a slug?
Usually yes, when it does not break the meaning. "how-to-write-a-brief" reads fine as "write-seo-brief", and shorter slugs survive truncation in search results. Keep a stop word when removing it changes the sense.
Can I change a slug after publishing?
You can, but the old URL must 301 to the new one, permanently. Changing a slug without a redirect discards every link and every ranking signal the page had earned — it is the most common self-inflicted SEO loss there is.
