FAQ
- What is a URL slug?
- A slug is the part of a URL that identifies a specific page in a human-readable way, e.g. "my-blog-post" in example.com/blog/my-blog-post. It uses only lowercase letters, digits and hyphens.
- What happens to Chinese or accented characters?
- Non-ASCII characters (including CJK, accented letters and emoji) are removed. For non-English titles you may want to transliterate or translate the text first before generating the slug.
- Why are underscores replaced with hyphens?
- Hyphens are the standard word separator in URLs. Search engines treat hyphens as word boundaries, which can benefit SEO. Underscores are treated as word connectors, making "my_page" look like one word to some parsers.
