Frequently Asked Questions

How long should a URL slug be?

Shorter is generally better, aim for the fewest words that still clearly describe the page. Very long slugs get truncated in search results and are harder to share.

Should I remove stop words from every slug?

It's a reasonable default for shorter, cleaner URLs, but not mandatory. If a stop word changes the meaning or you want an exact match to your title, keep it.

Does changing a URL's slug hurt SEO?

Changing a published page's URL can lose ranking signals unless you set up a proper 301 redirect from the old URL to the new one. Decide on your slug before publishing when possible.

Should I include my target keyword in the slug?

Yes, it's a minor but real signal, and it makes the URL more meaningful to users deciding whether to click.
