πŸš€ Pro Tips

βœ“Keep slugs under 60 characters for best SEO β€” Google truncates long URLs in search results.
βœ“Include your primary keyword near the beginning of the slug.
βœ“Avoid stop words (a, the, and, of) in slugs to keep URLs short and clean.
βœ“Use hyphens, not underscores β€” Google treats hyphens as word separators but underscores as joiners.
βœ“Never change a published URL without a 301 redirect β€” broken links hurt SEO.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

What characters are removed from slugs?+
Symbols, punctuation, accented characters (converted to ASCII equivalents), and trailing/leading hyphens are all removed or normalised.
Should I include the year in my URL slug?+
It depends. Year-dated URLs (/2024/recipe) can date your content. Timeless slugs (/best-recipe) stay evergreen and rank longer.
What is the difference between a slug and a permalink?+
A slug is the last segment of a URL path (e.g. chocolate-cake-recipe). A permalink is the full URL including domain and path.
