❓ FAQ
A slug is the part of a URL that comes after the domain and identifies a specific page, e.g., /blog/how-to-make-pasta where how-to-make-pasta is the slug.
Search engines read slugs to understand page content. A clean, keyword‑rich slug can improve your ranking and click‑through rate from search results.
Stop words are common words like "the", "a", "is", "in" that add length without adding much meaning. Removing them creates shorter, cleaner slugs.
Always use hyphens (-) for SEO. Google treats hyphens as word separators but treats underscores as word joiners, so "my-post" is read as "my post" while "my_post" is read as "mypost".
