Frequently asked questions

How long should a slug be?

Three to five meaningful words, under about sixty characters, reads well in search results and in the address bar.

Hyphens or underscores?

Hyphens. Search engines treat them as word separators; underscores are treated as joiners.

Does changing a slug hurt existing rankings?

It can, because the old URL stops existing. If a page already has traffic or inbound links, either leave the slug alone or add a 301 redirect from the old address to the new one so the accumulated signals carry across. Changing a slug with no redirect is the reliable way to lose whatever that page had earned.

What happens to accented and non-Latin characters?

Accented Latin letters are transliterated, so an e-acute becomes a plain e. Non-Latin scripts have no meaningful transliteration here and are dropped, which means a title written entirely in one produces an empty slug. Write the slug by hand in that case rather than deriving it.
