Frequently Asked Questions
A URL slug is the human-readable part of a web address that identifies a specific page. For example in foxtoolkit.com/tools/url-slug, the slug is url-slug. Good slugs are short, descriptive and use hyphens between words.
Search engines read the URL slug to understand what a page is about. A clear slug containing your target keyword helps Google rank your page for that term. For example, a page about mortgage calculators should have the slug mortgage-calculator.
Always use hyphens. Google treats hyphens as word separators, so best-password-generator is read as three separate words. Underscores are treated as joiners, making best_password_generator one long word.
Keep slugs under 60 characters. Include your primary keyword and remove stop words like and, the, a and of. Shorter slugs are easier to share and remember.
