What is a URL slug?

A URL slug is the human-readable part of a URL that identifies a page. For example, in example.com/blog/hello-world, the slug is hello-world. Good slugs are short, descriptive, and contain only lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens.

How does unicode transliteration work?

Characters like café → cafe, über → uber, or naïve → naive are converted using Unicode normalization (NFD decomposition), which strips diacritical marks. Characters with no ASCII equivalent are removed.

Hyphens vs underscores — which is better for SEO?

Google recommends hyphens as word separators in URLs. Hyphens are treated as word separators, while underscores are treated as connectors. So hello-world is indexed as two words "hello" and "world", while hello_world is indexed as a single word "hello_world".
