Anatomy of a Good Slug
The slug is the part of the URL that explains the page content. For example, in example.com/my-cool-page, the slug is my-cool-page. Keeping slugs clean and keyword-rich is a major SEO ranking factor.
Best Practices
- Keep it short: 3-5 words is ideal for readability and SEO.
- Use hyphens: Separate words with hyphens (-), not underscores (_).
- Include keywords: Put your primary keyword in the slug.
