Best Practices for URL Slugs

Good URL slugs are short, descriptive, and contain relevant keywords. They should be easy to read and understand at a glance. Avoid unnecessary words like articles (a, an, the) and use hyphens to separate words. A well-crafted slug improves both user experience and search engine optimization for your web pages.
