What is a URL slug?

A URL slug is the human-readable, hyphenated tail portion of a web address that identifies a specific page or article (for example, in example.com/blog/10-best-tools, the slug is 10-best-tools). Slugs provide search engines and visitors with clear semantic context about page content.

SEO guidelines for clean slugs

  • Use hyphens, not underscores: Search engines like Google interpret hyphens (-) as word separators, whereas underscores (_) are often interpreted as joining words together.
  • Transliterate accented letters: Accented characters like é, ñ, or ü are automatically normalized to their plain Latin counterparts (e, n, u) to avoid percent-encoded characters in browser address bars.
  • Strip stop words: Short function words (such as a, the, in, to) can be removed to keep permalinks concise and focused on high-intent target keywords.
