Frequently asked questions
Should a URL slug include every word in the title?
No. Keep it concise while preserving the main subject and search intent.
Can I change a slug after publishing?
Yes, but changing a live URL can break existing links. Add a suitable redirect and update internal links when necessary.
Should I include dates?
Only when the date is genuinely part of the page's purpose. Evergreen pages usually do not need a date in the slug.
Before you use the result
Before changing an existing URL, check traffic, backlinks, canonical settings and redirects.
