URL structures affect search engine rankings. Clear, descriptive slugs help users and search crawlers understand page content.

1. Best Practices for URL Slugs

SEO-friendly slugs use lowercase letters, hyphens instead of spaces, and omit stop words (e.g. 'a', 'the'). Keep slugs under 5 words to ensure they are easy to read.
