Frequently asked questions

Should I remove stop words from slugs?

Removing words like "the", "a" and "of" makes slugs shorter and keyword-focused, though keeping them can read more naturally. Both are fine.

What makes a good URL slug?

Keep it short, lowercase and hyphen-separated, with your main keyword and no special characters or spaces. Concise, descriptive slugs are easier to read and share.

Should I change a slug after publishing?

Avoid it where possible — changing a live URL breaks existing links. If you must, set up a 301 redirect from the old slug to the new one to preserve traffic and ranking.
