Frequently Asked Questions
Why are URL slugs important for SEO?
Descriptive, hyphen-separated slugs tell search engine crawlers and users what a page is about before clicking, improving search rankings and click-through rates.
Should I use hyphens or underscores in URL slugs?
Google explicitly recommends using hyphens (-) rather than underscores (_) because search engines treat hyphens as word separators.
How does the slugifier handle foreign alphabets and accents?
Accented Latin characters are transliterated into basic ASCII letters, and unmappable symbols are stripped cleanly.
