Good slugs: all lowercase, hyphen-separated (not underscores), no special characters, concise and keyword-rich (under 60 characters). Remove stop words. Example: /blog/seo-best-practices is better than /blog/SEO_Best_Practices_2024.
URL slug best practices: all lowercase; use hyphens (-) to separate words, not underscores (Google treats underscores as word-joiners, less SEO-friendly); remove special characters and punctuation; romanize or drop non-ASCII characters (e.g., Chinese); keep it short (3-5 keywords) and meaningful; omit stop words (a, the, is). CMS systems like WordPress and Ghost follow this convention by default.
