FAQ
Q: Why are hyphens preferred over underscores?
A: Google's search algorithms treat hyphens as word separators, which helps in identifying individual keywords within the URL. Underscores may sometimes be interpreted as part of a single word, hindering keyword relevance.
Q: How short should a slug be?
A: Ideally, keep slugs under 60 characters and focus on descriptive, primary keywords that explain the page content clearly.
