URL slug generator: frequently asked questions
Should URLs include the year?
Only if the content is really about that year. A year in the URL makes evergreen pages look outdated later.
Can I use Arabic in URLs?
Yes, Google supports Arabic URLs, but they become long %-encoded strings when shared. Many sites use English slugs for Arabic pages.
What is a URL slug?
The readable part of a URL that identifies a page, such as /website-design-dubai.
What makes a good slug?
Short, lowercase, hyphen-separated words that describe the page, without dates or filler words.
Should slugs include keywords?
Yes, naturally — the main topic of the page, not a list of keywords.
Hyphens or underscores?
Hyphens. Google treats them as word separators.
Should I change existing slugs?
Only with a 301 redirect from the old URL, and only if the gain is clear.
Can slugs be in Arabic?
Yes. Arabic slugs work, though they appear percent-encoded when copied.
How long should a slug be?
Three to five words is usually enough.
Should slugs include the year?
Avoid it for evergreen pages, so the URL stays valid when you update the content.
