FAQ
What makes a slug URL-friendly?
A URL-friendly slug usually uses lowercase letters, numbers, and a simple separator instead of spaces or punctuation. It should be short enough to read in search results and logs.
Is a slug the same as URL encoding?
No. A slug rewrites text into a readable URL segment. URL encoding preserves the original text by escaping reserved characters such as spaces and punctuation.
How long should a slug be?
Shorter is usually better. Keep the words that identify the page, remove filler, and use the length warning when a title turns into a long URL segment.
Can I change a slug after publishing?
You can, but changing a live slug may break bookmarks, backlinks, and internal links. Set up redirects before replacing published URLs.
