What makes a good URL slug?

  • Short and readable: people should understand the page from the URL.
  • Include the main keyword and leave out filler words.
  • Avoid dates so you can update the post later without changing the URL.
  • Use hyphens, lowercase letters and no special characters.

Frequently asked questions

Can I change a slug after publishing?

You can, but set up a 301 redirect from the old URL so you don’t lose traffic or links.

Should I include the year?

Usually not. Years make URLs look outdated when you refresh the content.

Does the slug affect SEO?

A clear slug with your keyword helps a little, mainly by making the result easier to understand.
