Question 1

Does the slug affect SEO?

Accepted Answer

Yes. URLs with readable, keyword-rich slugs perform better than random IDs or overly long URLs. Keep slugs short, descriptive, and keyword-focused.

Question 2

Should I include stop words like "the" or "and"?

Accepted Answer

Generally no. Shorter slugs are better. "best-seo-tools" is preferable to "the-best-seo-tools-for-you".
