What is a URL Slug?
A URL slug is the human-readable, SEO-friendly part of a URL that identifies a specific page. For example, in devprix.dev/tools/json-formatter, 'json-formatter' is the slug. Good slugs are lowercase, use hyphens instead of spaces, contain no special characters, and include relevant keywords for search engine optimization.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do URLs use hyphens instead of underscores?
Google treats hyphens as word separators but treats underscores as word joiners. 'json-formatter' is read as two words (json formatter) while 'json_formatter' is read as one word. Hyphens are better for SEO.
How long should a URL slug be?
Keep slugs under 60 characters and 3-5 words. Include the primary keyword, remove stop words (the, a, an, is), and make it descriptive enough that someone can guess the page content from the URL alone.
