Common Questions
A slug is the unique, human-readable part of a URL that identifies a specific page, usually after the domain and any folders. For example, in yoursite.com/blog/url-slug-guide, the slug is “url-slug-guide.” Good slugs are lowercase, use hyphens between words, and include the page’s main keyword.
Yes, modestly. A clear, keyword-relevant slug helps Google and users understand what a page is about and can improve click-through from search. It is a minor ranking factor, but clean URLs also earn more clicks and links, which helps indirectly.
Always hyphens. Google has confirmed it treats hyphens as word separators, so “blue-widgets” is read as two words, while “blue_widgets” is read as one. This tool always uses hyphens for that reason.
You can, but do it carefully. Changing a live URL breaks existing links and can drop rankings unless you add a 301 redirect from the old slug to the new one. If a page already ranks well, it is usually best to leave the slug alone.
