What makes a good URL slug?

- 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 Years make URLs look outdated when you refresh the content.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.
