Frequently Asked Questions
What is a URL slug?
A slug is the readable part of a URL that identifies a page, like "my-awesome-blog-post" in codespeedtest.com/blog/my-awesome-blog-post — usually lowercase words separated by hyphens.
Why are accented characters and symbols stripped?
URLs work best with plain ASCII letters, numbers, and separators, so accents are normalized away and punctuation is removed to avoid encoding issues.
Should I use hyphens or underscores?
Hyphens (kebab-case) are the SEO-standard choice — search engines treat them as word separators, while underscores are sometimes treated as joining words together.
