Frequently Asked Questions
What is a URL slug? +
A slug is the human-readable, URL-friendly part of a web address. For example, in example.com/blog/hello-world, the slug is hello-world. Slugs use lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens — no spaces or special characters.
Why remove accents from slugs? +
Accented characters like é, ü, or ñ must be percent-encoded in URLs, making them unreadable. Normalizing them to plain ASCII equivalents keeps slugs clean and shareable across all systems.
Hyphen vs underscore in slugs — which is better? +
Google recommends hyphens (-) as word separators in URLs for SEO purposes, as they are treated as word boundaries. Underscores (_) are treated as joiners, which can affect search ranking.
What is a good max length for slugs? +
Keep slugs under 75 characters for readability and SEO. While most servers support very long URLs, shorter slugs are easier to share and remember. Most CMS platforms default to 50–75 characters.
