URL Slug Best Practices for SEO
URL slugs are an important part of on-page SEO. A well-crafted slug helps both search engines and users understand what your page is about. Here are some best practices:
- Keep it short and descriptive - Aim for 3-5 words that accurately describe your content. Shorter URLs are easier to share and remember.
- Use hyphens as separators - Search engines treat hyphens as word separators, making your URL more readable. Avoid underscores as they may not be recognized as separators.
- Use lowercase letters - URLs are case-sensitive on some servers. Using lowercase prevents duplicate content issues and makes URLs easier to type.
- Remove stop words - Words like "the", "a", "and", "or" add length without adding value. Consider removing them for cleaner URLs.
- Include your target keyword - Place your primary keyword in the URL slug to signal relevance to search engines.
- Avoid special characters - Stick to alphanumeric characters and hyphens. Special characters can cause issues in URLs.
