Frequently asked questions
- Should I include stop words in a URL slug?
- Generally no. Words like "the", "a", "and", "of" can usually be removed from URLs without affecting meaning or SEO. Shorter slugs are cleaner and easier to share.
- Should I use hyphens or underscores in URLs?
- Hyphens. Google treats hyphens as word separators in URLs. Underscores are treated as connectors, so "email_writer" is read as one word rather than two.
- Can I change a URL slug after publishing?
- Yes, but set up a 301 redirect from the old URL to the new one. Changing a URL without a redirect breaks any links pointing to the old address and can cause a temporary drop in rankings.
