Understanding URL Slugs
A slug is the part of a URL which identifies a particular page on a website in a human-readable format. For example, in the URL ronaldreeves.com/text-to-slug-generator, the slug is text-to-slug-generator.
Slugs are vital for both usability and SEO. A clean slug tells the user exactly what to expect on the page before they click, and it helps search engines understand the context of your content.
Key Takeaways
- Readability: Keep your slugs short and descriptive, typically using 3-5 high-impact keywords.
-
Separators: Search engines generally prefer hyphens (
-) over underscores (_) for parsing keywords. - Case Sensitivity: Always prefer lowercase URLs to avoid potential "404 Not Found" errors on case-sensitive hosting environments.
