Frequently asked questions
How long should a URL slug be?
Three to five words is ideal. Short slugs are more clickable in the SERP and less likely to be truncated in shares and citations.
Should I change slugs on existing pages?
Only when the benefit is significant, and always with a 301 redirect from the old URL. Changing slugs without redirects loses accumulated link equity.
